Taking this idea. What would be the hypothetical flow for the recent Bloomberg chip article? I’m sure it would have been published with the cert since it’s from Bloomberg but later when it turns out to be less than true or more inflammatory than intended. Do they lose their cert? Or maybe just the article has to persist with the cert rating?
I love the idea, just curious how it works logistically.
- JustSomeNobody 8y agoMaybe something like: Bloomberg registers with cert auth. They publish articles and each has a pending cert item (image?) on their page that is loaded from 3rd party cert auth. The cert auth uses algos to determine if it's fake or not and published results back to the placeholder. Edit: Forgot to mention, please do take the idea. And good luck!
- social_quotient 8y agoThx for the info. So could this possibly run as a browser plugin? That way the site doesn’t need to assert its own trust? And you wouldn’t have to deal with the heavy lift of updating every news site. Just thinking out loud typing... you could integrate this with an ad blocker so that only cert content could show an ad. This would create an incentive model not only for the publisher but the advertising partners to make sure content is good and certified. Sites and content with no cert or lost cert would block ads for that page and for repeat offenders you could escalate to say all ads are blocked for the sesssion. While I’m not a fan of ads I understand their purpose and maybe with something like the above, the market could find equilibrium once again.
