There is a lot of deliberately deceitful information out there and I would like to build something to counter that, so does anyone have any thoughts on an app or system for helping find truth? I don't want to make a 'fact checker' site that is just some other arbitrary authority.
I could make a sort of url checker, where you toss in a url of a video or a blog or whatever and it spits out the most voted arguments for and against that resource's validity, and a user can 'vouch' with a comment for resources as well.
I could make a system just for tracking politicians and parties, who votes what on what bill in a nice easy to read and understand format.
Basically is there any sort of system anyone would want that's geared towards rooting out deception and finding truth?
That's true, I don't know how to solve that. I could mitigate it by removing 'downvotes' so maybe the 'reject' argument might have 100 votes (due to being flooded) versus '10' for the 'vouch' argument, but then people could make up their own mind as to which argument is valid.
