Good point. But I know a lot of people who feel very exasperated and frustrated in not knowing who to trust. I think for democracy to work, we have to figure out a way to provide people with some level of confidence in some sort of information source they can trust. If not, I sincerely worry about the future of democracy.
- JumpCrisscross 10y agoWe used to have nonsense toolbars "scanning" Google links, et cetera for viruses. Perhaps a similar, but federated, trust system? I could choose to have sources flagged as trustworthy or untrustworthy by the ACLU and the EFF thusly indicated in my browser. (Similar to AdBlocker Plus lists.) It would be simply for a campaign to publish its own trust ratings, however.

A lso, it would be great if TV network News shows had to display their "accuracy" rating at the beginning and end of their shows.
