You’d have to validate the sources, which would be tough. Also, the number of posts with a lot of traction is probably huge, and mostly photos of dogs being cute

So one would have to ML-filter our dogs being cute, and then you’d have to build a scalable way to identify sources.... which sounds like something an entire industry of humans has done for 1-3 centuries?

And you could probably create some hybridized ML-human form of source validation. FB after all literally does have a catalogue of 2 billion+ people.

...Or get FB to pay a network of journos to do it for them.

Pay
@GroundTruth to do it for Facebook or create a@Join_Civil newsroom to exclusively validate the source of trending newsworthy posts in real-time....1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

This is fairly unlikely to be fast enough for the velocity and volume of content we're talking about here.

What if they’re forced to add citations at different distribution thresholds and then there are random checks of the authority of those citations by a community of users or paid mods/fact checkers?

That's an interesting idea. You could also probably also make things more viable by restricting the sufficient/acceptable sources in some way.

That would be subject to criticisms of bias though. It would be interesting if the citations were found credible by different clusters of users + sources.

There's no way to avoid accusations of bias in this, no matter what you do :/.

Of course. But you wouldn’t want a small cluster of mostly Americans making a whitelist of credible sources.

Bit hard for me to follow the thread but yes, what you’re describing is possible for linked and memetic image content. From our experience you need a starting ontology of reliability but it should have emergence built in to assess edge cases.

That’s going to make some folks uncomfortable but you want a learning system. Building it at scale would be difficult for a paid network but if you want it to work through crowd participation you have to have some reversible and transparent permissions hierarchies.
