This is a great review of the state of fact-checking! The Wikidata, Kialo, and Google Fact-Checking tools are encouraging signs.

Concerning reusable facts, factual building blocks, and using them to construct argument chains and bodies of knowledge as discussed in your previous post, I am very keen on "evees," which are just such blocks. https://www.uprtcl.io/

Bi-directional links will connect claims, citations, evidence, and fact-checking (all evees) across platforms. Updated information will flow downstream and fork into new branches. Ultimately, statements will evolve in the marketplace of ideas. For journalists and researchers who care about the truth, it will be much easier to discover.

But most people do NOT base our strongest beliefs on logic or evidence, and are even less likely to change them on that basis.

“We don’t have a misinformation problem, we have a trust problem.” (regarding vaccine hesitancy): https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/13/health/coronavirus-vaccine-hesitancy-larson.html - Rumors evolve. More had to be done to engage people with doubts, and not merely dismiss them. “People don’t care about what you know, unless they know that you care.”

People formulate beliefs based not on evidence but on webs of trust. Evees will be used to construct webs of misinformation as well as facts. It will be interesting to see how they compete with each other. How will each garner trust?
