Yeah...this is just about the worst idea ever for freedom of the press, freedom of speech, and begins the slippery slope into state-run or corporate control over "the truth" when one company or agency is the one with the power to determine what is real or not with their stamp of approval. Corruption would be inevitable. Information in the real world is grey and not black & white. Think again about what you are proposing.
