Censor: suppress or restrict content deemed inappropriate Foster: encourage or promote development of something Suppress: forcibly put an end to Consolidate: combine or strengthen (not a fit with accountability) Regulate: control by rule or law Instill: gradually introduce (ideas or values) Curtail: reduce or cut short Enforce: compel compliance Eradicate: completely eliminate Amplify: increase or make louder a) suppress, consolidate – Suppress misinformation is okay, but consolidate accountability is off. You consolidate power, not accountability. Collocation flaw. b) regulate, instill – Instill accountability sounds motivational or educational — out of place in a legal context. Tone mismatch. c) curtail, enforce – Curtail misinformation is awkward; we curtail spending or freedoms, not ideas or content. Inaccurate usage. d) eradicate, amplify – Amplify accountability makes no sense. Also, eradicate misinformation is overly ambitious — not what legislation realistically does. Overstatement.
