> 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.
