It would be interesting if publications maintained their own public-facing whitelists that could be assessed for trust in combination with certification or meta-data compliance.

        metaviv journethics CraigSilverman emilybell craignewmark mosseri _trustproject jonkeegan Mantzarlis Without that, we end up creating an even more detailed layer for fraud to be committed on and we burn the bridge on those trust signals being reliable before we can really get to use them. IMO: when it comes to establishing trust metadata each attempt has only one shot.

      metaviv journethics CraigSilverman emilybell craignewmark mosseri _trustproject jonkeegan Mantzarlis We saw that with Google's authorship project. It was a great idea that could have been hugely beneficial, but because it was easier to exploit than honestly enact it ended up making things worse before it was turned off entirely.
