Does it do anything to prevent spam?
- gaxun 10y agoThat would be up to the endpoints hosting annotations. They would need to build anti-spam or reputation into their server system. Not part of the specification.
- jccalhoun 10y agoIf this is going to be used they will have to figure out how to deal with spam, vandalism, and harassment.
- rrix2 10y agoI'm especially worried about harassment, honestly. The fact that your domain can be marked up in a browser with no moderation capabilities is just going to lead to worse gamergate style brigading and harassment. https://ellacydawson.wordpress.com/2016/03/25/how-news-genius-silences-writers/ https://ellacydawson.wordpress.com/2016/03/25/how-news-geniu...
- dwhly 10y agoWe agree that this is an issue that deserves attention. We've discussed it here. https://hypothes.is/blog/involving-page-owners-in-annotation/ https://hypothes.is/blog/involving-page-owners-in-annotation...
- dragonwriter 10y agoStandard annotation providers will have the same spam-prevention challenges as existing comment/annotation providers; the standard is just a way to link annotations to the annoyed material when the former is maintained with a separate party from the latter.
