Lies published in the media cause a lively reaction and spread quickly
Facts are real events, phenomena supported by reliable evidence, what happened or is happening. Facts are synonymous with truth, and they are fundamental to the work of a journalist. Lies published in the media cause a lively reaction and spread quickly. Further denials don't get as much coverage as fakes.
Everyone has their own opinion, but facts cannot be refuted. They must be installed, checked and rechecked. Fact checking is the only weapon against fake news, unverified data, typos, misrepresentations, pseudoscience, and other ambiguities. Fact-checking principles: independence, impartiality and accuracy.
Let's look at why fact checking is needed in the first place. The main reason is that incorrect facts create a false picture of the world in people's minds. This, in turn, leads to the fact that a person loses confidence in information and the world.
After all, the law of any country also provides that it is forbidden to spread rumors under the guise of reliable information. To understand the serious consequences of low-quality fact-checking or its absence, we will give examples.
Pakistan threatened Israel with nuclear weapons in response to the fake news.
In December 2016, Khawaja Asif tweeted that Israel, while threatening Islamabad with nuclear weapons, forgets that Pakistan also has them. This is how the secretary of defense reacted to the publication of AWD News, a website with fake news.
The title of the publication read: "Israeli Defense Minister: If Pakistan, under any pretext, sends troops to Syria, we will destroy it with a nuclear strike." By the way, the authors of the yellow article wrote about Moshe Yaalon, who was the former, not the current, Minister of Defense. They also mixed up several other positions.
The Israeli Ministry of Defense, in turn, replied that Ya'alon had never made such statements. And noted that the story that Asif refers to is completely fictional.
The misunderstanding was cleared up.
So is it possible to create an ideal algorithm that will analyze the information and filter the data itself?
Yes, and one of these systems to increase the accuracy of the checked content was created by the Exorde system. Exorde is built around a core platform that provides unbiased credibility scores for information (and virality-related analytics) based on the community, AI modules, and a token-based economy.
This platform is decentralized, open and transparent. This is where participants will work together to index the entire network, extract its unstructured information, relationships, similarities, trends, and any type of pattern in information circulating throughout the internet, regardless of platform or media.
Exorde as a knowledge network can use the unstructured content of the Internet and perform a first-of-its-kind analysis of the virality of information circulating throughout the network.
The Exorde Work Systems are the core component and will serve as the base layer for the entire ecosystem. Exorde is based on four main parameters:
Ethereum is an open source platform that allows developers to create and deploy decentralized applications on it.
Skale is an elastic sidechain network connected to the Ethereum chain, acting as an execution layer. It is a scalable and elastic environment that provides high transaction throughput.
Filecoin is a decentralized data storage system that intends to replace the expensive and inefficient servers of Google and Amazon.
NLP is an artificial intelligence module that will work with unstructured text. AI will be able to recognize objects in the text, extract sentences, facts, compare them with each other and perform similarity checks.
