I think Urbit is trying to tackle this problem of decentralizing the internet. I'm not sure of their current status however.

Decentralizing won't help much.

The who really knows what is fake news? And what about the filter bubbles that keep the full picture hidden from you?

A decentralized search engine with configurable or even just inspectable filter bubble would be a good start?

(Although I think the correct abstraction is not "search engine", but "decentralized content index" + "decentralized content ranking" with tweakable parameters.)
