Why does it seem that voters reward political candidates for their outlandish statements and misinformation? The answer, paradoxically, may lie in the public’s desire for more authenticity in political candidates.
One technological tool that may be useful in identifying or preventing misinformation is blockchain— a database technology originated in 2008 that records and stores information in blocks of data that are linked, or “chained,” together. The software is free and open source, which makes it available to the public.
Advances are sparking a revolution in innovation and supercharging humanity’s ability to solve problems once thought to be unsolvable.
