Is there a consensus on the definition of inauthentic behavior?

Creating a fake ice cream shop page on Facebook to "like" the president of Honduras' post is substantively different from propagating untrue information or selectively editing clips to portray officials as something they are not.

It seems like the first example is relatively simple to address (make it harder to create ice cream shop pages if you don't actually own an ice cream shop), whereas the second set of examples requires politically biased Facebook employees to separate truth from untruth around politically charged issues. Does it make sense for Facebook to wade into that morass and become the arbiter of truth?

"I know what is bad. This is bad! Here! Let's get rid of it"

Presumably, "badness" is related to the authenticity of the account?

Often, the decisions come down to the real-world impact.

I know this isn't your team, but if the misinformation team decided that Trump getting reelected was objectively a "negative real world impact" then presumably that would permit them the latitude to intervene against any "misinformation" that might effect that real world outcome?
