And Soros just keeps right on marching on...


Soros and Mozilla?

www.activistpost.com...

I was hoping that was more of a click bait title?
Hmm...What do you think?

I thought Mozilla was going to do their own open sourced thing?
Do we even need a search engine with a built
in fact checker?

I'm thinking not!

HAHAHAHA...if you only understood the timeliness of your comparison to inaccurate AGW data in reports. (I was having a debate on that today in another thread...being told that I need not worry about the findings, because data doesn't lie)

I literally chuckled out loud when I read that.

Any time I hear anything on Soros, I expect a news bulletin on his passing. Must be an Atheist or why would someone so old be so evil..?

Good timing then. For some reason that one topic seems
very contaminated with faked data, faulty reports etc.

Since The US official withdrawal from the Paris deal,
I'm thinking this will continue to,be a contested
set of "Truths".

Good question, he certainly has enough money
should be a happy bloke eh?

His world view seems very twisted....

It's pretty easy to verify facts on your own. I may agree with you in the sense that relying on an database/algothrym/whatever to pronounce truth sounds a bit hinky but we will have to wait and see how it works.

Will it provide the 'sources' (and for new there should be three independent of one another) for 'certifying' a fact. Will it be available to the public or, as I imagine, only to those paying a high subscription service fee (i.e. Lexus/Nexus).

Will it be able to parse 'spin' and vernacular?

There are a lot of things to see, before condemning solely on the basis of association.

What I'd rather have - as a public service - is a registry of sources that includes real information about them - their funding, their history of accuracy and reliability, their purpose (stated and actual). A non-partisan, scientific approach without ideological or religious or other nonsense. This database, publically funded, would rate varies sources and clearly explain those ratings. Now that would be a service to the world - a wonderful help in education - only be able to use 'media' sources with a "C" rating or above.

As to this 'fact checking' software, the more I think about it, the less I'm inclined to think it will help anything but still willing to wait and see.

Interesting thoughts, thanks.

I thunk this will worse than Snopes by a long ways.

As far as I can see this will not be available to the public....
