RE: Fake News? Where is this leading and why?
Pretty much exactly this yes. By being censorship resistant we place ourselves in a firehose of information. We just need to make sure that when we drink from that hose we have our critical thinking skills on overdrive.
It will be a good stress test for the system too. An influx of this kind of thing will also entail a proportion of outright disinfo. If the peer review system works it will be very interesting to see how it affects things. Soon more gates into the blockchain are opening... Probably someone will do a steem news branch.
