Cool project. Society desperately needs tools to combat disinformation. But couldn't this tool also be used to spread it? Also, does it prevent circular reason

  > Cool project. Society desperately needs tools to combat disinformation. Thanks! I'm a huge fan of Snopes <3 > But couldn't this tool also be used to spread it? It's a tool; a platform. Anything that can be used for good can be used for bad. I'm mostly circulating this in queer/pro-science circles, in the hopes that the critical mass of early adopters will dictate the culture surrounding the platform. > Also, does it prevent circular reasoning? No. You can create cycles in the Follow-Ups that loop infinitely. It might even be convenient to do so in many cases! But that definitely does not prevent circular reasoning.
