I could see this working if sites with a good track record were trusted more when making claims.
A site's trustability could be punished when one of its fact checks is flagged for review and discovered to be wrong.
Will be interesting with Wikipedia in the mix. It could be the web's fact checking backbone.

- jkeat 9y agoIt could be "if your fact check gets flagged a lot we'll review it and punish your reputation if it's inaccurate." Not ideal to leave Google in control of Truth (and they might not want the burden), so it'd be interesting to offload that responsibility to Wikipedia, which seems to have a pretty good system for coming to a consensus.
