Interesting how it seems no one wishes to
comment on this issue. I posted an earlier thread
"On Credibility", no one responded.
I guess as the culture deteriorates, people come to
love deceit.

How to measure a website's IQ?

The creator of the world wide web, Tim Berners-Lee, has made an odd request: for
a kind of rating system to help people distinguish sites that can be trusted to
tell the truth, and those that can't.

Berners-Lee was speaking at the launch of the World Wide Web Foundation, which
aims to ensure that everyone in the world benefits as the web evolves.

In his speech he referred to the way fears that the LHC could destroy the world
spread like wildfire online. As the BBC puts it, he explained that "there needed
to be new systems that would give websites a label for trustworthiness once they
had been proved reliable sources."

I don't think one can regulate the value of one persons opinion over
anothers, or their own.

sounds like the usual knee jerk to attempt to control anything and
everything someone doesn't like. There simply isn't enough cotton wool in
the world Fred. :)

Ridiculous. If this were to be properly applied every major news outlet
could be labeled 'unreliable'.

This whole issue depends on force. Forcing conformity. Who is going be
given this force? The "good guys"?
