In this video
Dan Dicks of Press For Truth breaks down the war on fake news for what it really is while also providing the best possible solution for social media users moving forward.

I agree
Nice post!
I think that a better way to combat viral Fake News is to provide additional information in real-time to users so they have the full story, rather than biased and/or inaccurate (contradicted by additional facts). Boolean by GainingSteem.Com is doing just that. No censorship EVER, but instead, additional information so people have all relevant facts when consuming news.

media is the biggest superpower today
Now we can compete! :) #steemit
Dtube here is all procedure is separate, don't be focus they fake, if occur that be illegal for further
I always feel odd seeing ETH used as a currency... it is much better as a platfrom. We have plenty of currencies (DOGE anyone) to use for tips!
We have Steem)
Yeah I'm with yura lol
there are lot of fake news for south kore ban for the big whale earn from small traders loses
I like steemit so far, and yes there is a war waged on the dissemination of certain ideas on other platforms, but the fact that money itself can essentially buy limited slots on the trending and hot columns of steemit means that whichever poster has the most voting power via their stack gets the views. This is a centralization of what information is displayed for the longest amount of time on a platform that was supposedly about decentralization, and because of the deflationary nature of the coin and the fact that self-voting, circular voting, and vote buying are not prevented or punished I don't see how it will change for now.
As the platform matures and the audience grows it's probable that we will indeed see a rise in viewership and use by those who finally get sick of the blatant status quo leaning corporations who operate the other social media sites, but it's not outside the realm of imagination to guess that if we become a serious problem they will start throwing money and technology to sway opinions here yet again.
And the risk always remains that those who are vocal about their opinions and are seen as a threat to the system have willingly given up their anonymity by using the faucet for a free account when using a phone number, and even if they didn't it will still be rather trivial for AI to figure out the flow of money required to buy some starter steemit, as it's already done for people who have tried to obfuscate purchases with Bitcoin.
In fact a public blockchain is probably a state's wet dream when it comes to knowing exactly what everyone's opinions are, as an immutable ledger of who dislikes what and why is what they were developing privately anyway. Blog safely out there, rainy roads are no joke.
i like your viewpoint and your writing style @charitybot. As a rank newbie here I see your take and you are right, there's always the thought that we are creating a nice little wrapped up pkg for any who may want to use that for evil. And,as we see time and time again, once big money comes in, and I mean BIG money, they figure out the loopholes and maybe they sponsor their own "influencer" with the latest greatest cryptocurrency
Sadly your upvote was wasted on me, I encourage you to read up on how new users' limited votes are most profitably spent on curating hot or trending posts that already have the largest rewards accumulated. Redeem rewards you earn as you get them, as the weight of your vote is calculated by current steam power. We're new but this site is also relatively new, and I hope the combined contributions of everyone who doesn't have a fat account can still help make it a worthwhile place to be.
You're a real person and not a bot?
Define "real".
fight the fake news? trump liked this
He needs to get on steemit lol
I noticed how Steemit flooded with russian anti-ukrainian propaganda. Whenever you see "rebel" or "DPR" - all of this fake news (russian propaganda) and it all prospering on this platform. Can we stop it somehow?
Probably not. At least the Russians aren't using bots to trend that stuff at least not that I have seen anyways.
Imagine how Rusians or any other ISIS can dominate us if we not fix it. We doomed.
Are the Russians worse than the Jews?
