I disagree because a lot of people spread disinformation but they believe it's true and not really setting out to be nefarious.

Which is fine morally at a small scale, but when your audience is big enough, you have a responsibility to do at least basic fact checking and research. Reporting easily proven disinformation is not ok.

Who determines what is disinformation? This could be weaponized too easily.

Simple. Make the framework for a prosecutor to show that the information given is in fact false, that a reasonable person in their position should've known or been able to discover it was false, and that the disinformation could cause real or potential harm. They make the argument to the jury, the jury decides. You'd have to stretch to make an argument that's weaponizable, or that it's unnecessary.
