Thanks for the great comment! Bear in mind, this is the initial version of the site that should be running in a couple of weeks.
The app has three groups of sources:
- peer-reviewed research published by scientific journals (highest reliability)
- reputable news websites (medium reliability)
- internet searches (lowest reliability)
The Hunter laptop and Neo-nazi cases are tough ones, but essentially it would provide an overview of what sources if any are providing that information. Identifying original sources and when they were created can be very illuminating on determining whether it’s reliable or likely misinformation. The app provides a scale from completely false to true to gauge a level of uncertainty.
If low reputation sites are spreading misinformation through circular reporting, that would register as having low reliability and hence not much evidence behind it.
I’d love to know if you or anyone else has other ideas to tackle your examples. They’re good ones.
