CraigSilverman emilybell craignewmark mosseri _trustproject journethics jonkeegan You could see a version where citations are measured somehow to give weight to news organizations supporting the trust-ability of other orgs, but theoretically that is part of what academic journals do and they have a fraud problem right now too.Permalink On twitter.com

CraigSilverman emilybell craignewmark mosseri _trustproject journethics jonkeegan But our competitiveness is an obstacle.

CraigSilverman emilybell craignewmark mosseri _trustproject journethics jonkeegan This is an unsolved problem because it is completely new, you knew who to trust in other industries because you had a list, a history, and you were told who by seniors. And no one had to use bots to crawl a bunch of people and algorithmically determine trustworthiness.Permalink On twitter.com
