So few companies have so much power with generating and spreading information. This is a good time for the industry to organize a new open and transparent Wiki

This is a good time for the industry to organize a new open and transparent Wikileaks style organization to make the decisions on what's fake or not.
- grenoire 10y agoThen who monitors the monitoring organisation? A centralised solution to information oligopolies cannot work.
- skylan_q 10y agoAgreed. An important part to this is transparency of the members working on this as well. Almost every fact-checker I've read up on has a conflict of interest on many of the "facts" they're checking.
- lisivka 10y agoOnly court can prove that something is fake or not fake. Other solutions are vulnerable. Extreme example: Russian plane was shoot at Black sea in 2001, and Ukraine is blamed by every article in internet you can find, but not by court. I'm 100% sure that every fact-check organization, except court, will confirm mainstream «fact».
