Summary

The author concludes that online information should be regulated. Why? The large amount of misinformation online makes it hard to tell accurate information from inaccurate information, which renders the accurate information useless.

Notable Assumptions

The author assumes that regulations would help to either curtail online misinformation or make it easily distinguishable from accurate information. There is currently no link between these two ideas, so an answer choice connecting regulations to misinformation would strengthen the argument.

The conclusion is a prescriptive claim, so the author also assumes we should, in fact, try to curtail misinformation or make it easy to distinguish from accurate information.
