I’more worried about what they consider “online misinformation”. Who fact checks the fact checkers?

That’s my concern too. Who gets to determine what criteria are applied? Who decides what is misinformation? Where is the line between a dissenting opinion on a contentious issue and misinformation? How far can you spin something before it becomes misinformation? Does this mean no more hyperbole? No more using reductio ad absurdum as a form of argument?
