This problem is not new (boy that cried wolf).
Doesn’t unmasking all actors provide an efficient shortcut?
- Volundr 3y ago> Doesn’t unmasking all actors provide an efficient shortcut? I can't figure out what you are suggesting here. It kind of feels like you are suggesting removing anonymity from online discussions is the solution? But I doubt that's actually what you are driving at.
- nobodyandproud 3y agoI am indeed suggesting exactly this, though there are different layers of anonymity. Such as continent, nation, state/city, down to the individual. But I also mean that everyone knows who the others are from the start of a conversation. Not so much as a punitive measure after-the-fact. My question is this: Rather than censoring, why aren’t we asking whether/how misinformation can be directly and visibly attributed to the sources peddling the misinformation?
