How will Twitter prevent the sort of organized brigading and domination of the always-online crowd which plagues such crowdsourced review programs?
- Pfhreak 6y agoThis is the central question. If someone isn't asking, "What would a malicious user do with this system?" and inserting their favorite internet bogeymen as a thought experiment, they haven't finished their design. This is doubly true for safety systems. I don't see much of the press release focused on how abuse of the safety system will be avoided beyond, "We'll eventually let it be reviewed by outside parties."
- ourlordcaffeine 6y agoI'm pretty sure this project will just turn into opposing groups marking anything they disagree with as disinformation, the bigger group succeeding in having control of the narrative. What's to stop a flood of Russian accounts gaining control of what's marked as disinformation?
- kyleblarson 6y agoThey won't prevent it. This is clearly by design on Twitter's part given that the always-online bluecheck crowd leans so far left.
- manojlds 6y agoI liked some blockchain / crypto based ideas people were having - like you have to use crypto to even say something is fake or not. A journalist has to "pledge" crypto that a news is not fake and the smart contract releases the amount back based on certain evaluations like if the post was voted as fake or not etc. (I am sure as described there will be holes, but I like the direction it was heading.)
- fwip 6y agoThat just becomes "rich people decide."
- jethro_tell 6y agoLol, now you have two problems.
