RE: Who Gets To Decide What Is Or Isn’t Fake News? Part I

in #fakenews8 years ago

We now have the technical capability to allow each person to decide their chain of trust themselves. No censoring at all is required. In such a system, imagine a person defining a set of sources that they trust highly and a set they distrust highly. Implicitly, that person trusts/distrust the networks of those sources indirectly. The result is a type of Bayesian map unique to an individual that explicitly or implicitly allows a trust value to be assigned for all sources. The public exchange of trust maps allows the left, right, good, evil etc. to all tailor what they determine their trust characteristics to be and create their unique observation window of the world. The concept of absolute truth is irrelevant. This is increasingly important as the information explosion makes direct observation an ever decreasing percentage of our knowledge.
