It's no secret that a modern person mainly draws information and learns news from various Internet resources. And there is nothing wrong with that: progress is progress. Searching the web takes less time than reading reference literature. The Internet is used by ordinary users, government officials, businessmen, and commercial organizations. Today on the web we are called to various actions. Often the published information turns out to be really useful for the user. But you can’t trust everything that is written on the network, because the Internet is a free access zone where everyone can write what they want. And here a problem arises - it is on the network that the so-called fakes most often appear.
In fact, truth and lies almost always go hand in hand and it can be quite difficult to distinguish between them. Deliberately spread false information, called disinformation, can become an effective tool in information warfare. By themselves, information wars are not a novelty that has appeared only now. They were before. In history, you can find a lot of evidence of the use of "information weapons", with their help even wars were won. But in modern conditions, when the speed of information dissemination has increased by several orders of magnitude, fakes have become a truly terrible weapon.
Is it possible to distinguish truth from fake? Sure, but it's getting harder and harder to do so. Several factors play into the hands of the lie, such as the emergence of completely unbelievable technologies and the training of users to believe even in obvious lies. Experts also note that people are more likely to believe in lies when there is a shortage of time required to evaluate information and carefully verify it.
Thus, the spread of deliberately false sensational publications, combining truth and fiction, is an inevitable consequence of both political and economic central events. The dissemination of such information affects politics, the economy and even the security of the state. In addition, they undermine diplomacy, democracy, public discourse and journalism.
And today, in the age of technology, online news is often characterized by unverified facts and a lack of originality, so the fight against them becomes even more difficult. Complicating the situation is the fact that today it is very easy and cheap to create disinformation: it is enough for a person to have a digital platform available.
Today, half of Russians believe that it is always or almost always possible to distinguish false information on the Internet. 18-24-year-olds (78%), as well as 25-34-year-old Russians (62%) think so more often.
What do we see and have today? That the correlation between news dissemination and quality control is broken. And many organizations and communities are working on creating projects to make it easier to recognize fake content. One such project is an ecosystem called Exorde, built around a core platform that provides objective assessments of trust in information based on a community and an artificial intelligence module. The idea of the project is to track the spread of information through the entire Internet network in real time. The goal of the project is to find the source of viral information in its original form, before this information becomes viral.
Exorde is run by its DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) and uses community votes and polls. Management will be decentralized among all members of the community. Collectively, they will be able to change the internal rules and parameters of the systems (rewards, limits, delays, scheduling, etc.) and will have a built-in reputation system. These mechanisms are designed to continually align the interests of the community and its governance for the benefit of Exorde.
The Exorde Work Systems are the core component and will serve as the base layer for the entire ecosystem. Exorde is based on four main parameters:
Ethereum is an open source platform that allows developers to create and deploy decentralized applications on it.
Skale SKALE is an elastic sidechain network connected to the Ethereum chain, acting as an execution layer. It is a scalable and elastic environment that provides high transaction throughput.
Filecoin is a decentralized data storage system that intends to replace the expensive and inefficient servers of Google and Amazon.
NLP is an artificial intelligence module that will work with unstructured text.
Also, the Exorde Labs team is proud to announce the launch of Testnet. We are now at the point where Testnet is open to anyone who wants to download the open source modules and participate! This phase includes more detailed web panels showing blocks of data being mined on the Exorde network, the number of free and employed workers, protocol details with additional statistics, URLs, and more. A little later, a new version will appear: Testnet v0.2, with improved staking mechanisms, rewards and dynamic protocol settings. Constant improvements, the most advanced web scraping modules!
