Anonymous trolls and spread of misinformation- a proposal to remove internet anonymity
01/15/2016
Anne Applebaum of the Washington Post describes the problem of misinformation and disinformation when internet trolls intentionally create confusion on the internet. With weaknesses in the media and the rapid spread of information on the internet the danger of this happening are real. Fareed Zakaria describes one such incident he experienced. By allowing anonymous postings Twitter makes it possible for no one to take responsibility while false information is spread. Pseudo names also are a problem as individuals have not disclosed who they are. The best approach is for individuals to take responsibility and be allowed to post on media sites only after accepting this responsibility.

World wide web creator Tim Berners-Lee targets fake news - BBC News
BBC News 04/28/2017
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
