It’s the lack of transparency that bothers people. If each user’s truthiness score was displayed alongside every post or comment and you could up or down vote it in real time, users would be satisfied
- MichaelKSpencer 8y agoThere was once this startup called Peeple, users exploded in rage because it had to do with rating people.

- adrianmonk 8y agoI don't see that as a viable alternative. You can't fight platform abuse (fake profiles, etc.) by giving the bad actors access to the information you're using to fight them. For example, one form of abuse is creating fake profiles to sell to others who want to buy influence. If Facebook makes this info public, it gives sellers the ability to say, "Buy these! They're guaranteed excellent quality by Facebook themselves!" It also gives them valuable feedback in developing better fake profiles so that they're no longer flying blind.
