Corporate Responsibility in Combating Online Misinformation

Abstract

In the age of mass information and misinformation, the corporate duty of developers of browsers, social media, and search engines are falling short of the minimum standards of responsibility. The tools and technologies are already available to combat misinformation online but the desire to integrate these tools has not taken enough priority to warrant action. This paper presents an effective and practical method based on technologies already available that could be used for browsers and social media websites that would help combat misinformation presented in the form of photo evidence, video evidence, or textual evidence the authors have termed as the “Right-click Authenticate” every browser and social media website should have.
