If I was ruler of the world for a day, I would install fact-checker apps into our smartphones, into our computers, so that when facts were broken, when people told lies, or told mistruths, our phones went “Brrrrrrrr!” or the lines on our computer screen popped up in red. That way, we’d know what was fact and what was fiction.
Of course, I wouldn’t apply it to everyone. I wouldn’t apply it to poets, to novelists and others who specialise in imaginary ideas. My aim is to ensure that we benefit from the age of the internet of things to have an internet of facts and ideas, and through this we would hopefully get away from the infuriating falsehoods that are being widely disseminated.
