The problem is bootstrapping trust. Why would I trust this proposed site more than any random journalist? In fact I might trust it less because of how easy it is for any shady organization to set up a defamatory site masquerading as trustworthy and impartial.
- hhs 7y agoI also wonder about this scenario. You write: "because of how easy it is for any shady organization to set up a defamatory site masquerading as trustworthy and impartial." I can see emotions, confirmation bias and backfire effect playing a role by, as you note, "a defamatory site". I'm curious if there are options or solutions to counter this?

The point is to collate publically available information into an accessible single location that will allow easy discovery of hidden agendas and conflicts of interest. You don’t have to trust the site for anything, it’s simply a jumping off point.
