Bad information is like viruses. Right?. So what we need is an immune-system. Bad information will still be there but it is prevented (to an extent) from multiplying.
What would an immune-system for online information look like?
How do you define “bad” information? I found a list of CSAM sites via a link in a Wikipedia book about onion services- having a known evil target to practice getting a dot onion to reveal its ip was both good and bad data, depending on who you ask.
(The CFAA has since expired, and those rude little pedophiles DEFINITELY noticed me.)
Bad information is like viruses. They look like legitimate parts of a biological system but in the end are dangerous to its health.
Note that "wrong" information is not bad as such, it is just wrong. It can be corrected. It becomes bad when its purpose is to mislead people, in which case its originators will never want to correct it.
