Trust-based Ecosystem to Combat Fake News

Jaroucheh, Zakwan; Alissa, Mohamad; Buchanan, William J.

Abstract

The growing spread of misinformation and dis-information has grave political, social, ethical, and privacy implications for society. Therefore, there is an ethical need to combat the flow of fake news. This paper attempts to resolves some of the aspects of this combat by presenting a high-level overview of TRUSTD, a blockchain and collective signature based ecosystem to help news creators getting their news backed by the community, and to help users to judge on the credibility and correctness of these news.
