The COVID-19 pandemic has been the subject of a vast amount ofmisinformation, particularly in digital information environments, and majorsocial media platforms recently publicized some of the countermeasures they areadopting. This presents an opportunity to examine the nature of themisinformation and disinformation being produced, and the theoretical andtechnological paradigm used to counter it. I argue that this approach is basedon a conception of misinformation as epistemic pollution that can only justifya limited and potentially inadequate response , and that some of the measuresundertaken in practice outrun this. In fact, social networks manage ecologicaland architectural conditions that influence discourse on their platforms inways that should motivate reconsideration of the justifications that groundepistemic interventions to combat misinformation, and the types of interventionthat they warrant. The editorial role of platforms should not be framed solelyas the management of epistemic pollution, but instead as managing the epistemicenvironment in which narratives and social epistemic processes take place.There is an element of inevitable epistemic paternalism involved in this, andexploration of the independent constraints on its justifiability can helpdetermine proper limits of its exercise in practice.
