This is a technically creative approach, and I think the internet's future is unfortunately going to be something like this.

But I for one would rather take the high road. Please call your senator(s) and representative(s) and let them know how upset this all is making you!

It's not the future; it's been going on for a long time. The Chinese and Russian governments have long run large astroturfing propaganda operations, astroturfing by U.S. businesses (and I assume those in other countries) is an old story, and the last U.S. presidential election was swamped by social media propaganda operations, foreign and domestic.

How about ditching Web 2.0 entirely? It's time to head to Web 3.0, an era where the Internet will be truly decentralized and free.

So we are talking about people pretending to be people they aren’t, and your solution is decentralize the whole thing?

Yes, but how? I got really into Semantic web stuff maybe 5-6 years ago and I thought it would have taken over by now but it seems to have withered for lack of development. You're welcome to email me with your thoughts if you prefer.

Sorry about the others downvoting you. If you dig into my comment history, I've written about a few ways to do this.

Great suggestion.

Will it be unicorn-fart powered, or are you thinking some sort of genie-based system?
