Google hasn't solved it yet either. You've probably all experienced the deluge of AI generated garbage with almost zero pertinent information clogging up search queries. And those aren't even politically motivated. It's getting harder and harder to even find actual information from actual humans.
Why is it expected that social media companies will find a solution for this? Political discussions are part of the democratic process so why would any of the big social networks (who are effectively advertising companies) have an incentive to foster the fair and open exchange of ideas and information?
Because we have surrendered so much control of our lives to these companies we can hardly envision an alternative.
