The problem is that right now, based on the current political climate, even if as objective an approach as you could code were applied the efforts would disproportionately impact right-wing posters. They literally discovered this at Facebook while researching a policy to apply and then shelved it for this reason. This isn't to say that lefties don't come up with some whack-a-doodle shit, we all know they do, but the current climate is with the right-wing pumping out more dis and misinformation so they would have more actions taken against them.

I shared the Pence lifting empty boxes video in a group on Facebook and it was "flagged" as false.  Yet when I see a post about Clinton's kill count it is left alone.  I got a kick out of that.
