This would have been great to prevent the "mob ruling" on, say, Reddit during the 2013 Boston Marathon. Very cool.

That's the hope. Reddit is great at what it does, but that system needs to have something to reign it in. Generally a very simple fact-check has done the job when we have been "reporting" on Twitter (@grasswire and @grasswirefacts), so we are trying to expose more people to that process and democratize it.
