Bitpress Misinformation Detector

Misinformation Detector was a "decentralized trust protocol" tool to track news credibility.

Through the combination of technology and news analysts, we aim to prevent the spread of misinformation online. We accomplish this in three steps: 1\. Identifying misinformation when it occurs. 2\. Fingerprinting the instance of misinformation so that it can be identified in different forms (articles, memes, tweets, videos, etc.). 3\. Providing this fingerprint to platforms and consumers so they are aware when they encounter misinformation. We believe that misinformation is civilization's greatest threat, and that current solutions for misinformation cannot solve this problem at scale.

Digital Public Goods Standard

The Digital Public Goods Standard is a set of specifications and guidelines designed to maximise consensus about whether a digital solution conforms to the definition of a digital public good: open-source software, open data, open AI models, open standards, and open content that adhere to privacy and other applicable best practices, do no harm by design and are of high relevance for attainment of the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
