We need a search engine/agent/service that analyzes and categorizes content and ranks and presents it based upon the veracity of what it contains. Today, google ranks content based upon what’s popular vs. what’s true and reality. Someone recently pointed out that if they googled “Sandy Hook” they would get things like: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2016/09/the-sandy-hook-hoax.html that would pop up in the top of the search. Is that what we want? Don’t think so. Accordingly, content can be search, analyzed, and categorized according to the truth or veracity of its content and authors. Presenting what’s true vs. what’s popular has never been more important in fighting disinformation so prevalent in the Internet and in society. Surely the technical means exist to do this type of analysis, categorization, and presentation to everyone. We need to figure out how to do it and then do it. Just one viewpoint.
