Fox was never fined, they where sued by "Dominion Voting Systems Corporation" for defamation and settled out of court for close to 800m. No government body penalized Fox for lying.

it would apply to any broadcasting on any platform.

How is that not the case? Instead of Rupert Murdoch lying to you now it's Elon Musk, new media is just an evolution of the same bullshit.

You really believe that traditional media is truthful with people? Have you never heard the term "manufacturing consent"? Have you never heard of Fox News lol?

Is that really any different than believing everything you hear on TV or believing everything you read in the newspaper? A lot of what we're taught in school shouldn't be believed either honestly.
