Data for the truth

Description
Day by day it is harder to distinguish real news from the fake ones. Some fakes are made by accident, but increasingly they are made for specific purpose to distort the truth. As individuals we don’t have many tools verify the legitimacy of these news. Most journalists are doing their best in trying to help us to see what’s real and what has happened, but they are easily stifled by the sheer volume of online media content. Could internet service providers (ISPs) help us to see the forest from the trees? ISPs don’t have the access to our applications, but all the data and information flows through their system. What if we imagine they would be able to flag, filter and analyze the vast amounts of pictures, videos and text going through their hands to help us? How might the ISPs flag and notify us (the users) of fake media on our smart devices? How might the service look like? What would be acceptable from the younger generation’s point of view, if we consider ISPs scanning through our social media content? What might be the good trade off you are willing to make to get above-mentioned service? This project aims at helping the societies battle fake news and disinformation. Join the project to design the tools we need as individuals to be smarter and more conscious about our media consumption!
