Anyone writing opioid epidemics only happen in the US is either poorly informed or is intellectually dishonest. I assume the second here, since this reads like contemporary agitprop.

Hah! I'm not sure what the first recorded instance is, but the act of coming up with a definition is an act of inclusion/exclusion. [edit for clarity]

While I like the friendly notification/explanation, any tool targeting fake news should do a little better in establishing its own credibility. You want to persuade, not block. I'm not sure the dollar amount is enough. We see it in these very comments: show the user a sample of obvious falsehoods they published. This way you could probably come up with a threshold where you just give up.

Their motivations are irrelevant. Proving politicians are hypocrites is easier than finding metaphors in the bible. Their releases have undeniably been assimilated by one candidate using WL's credibility and flavor of scandal. WL went along with it.
"Troves" don't have signatures. Omissions and context matter. See the ICIJ approach.

Hard not to get angry about a comment like yours. The WWW did have a founding philosophy, one that was as close as you can get to "open web" without having lived through the ad industry takeover.
Edit: Does someone actually need to point out what Tim Berners-Lee has been talking about for some years now? Or where the original "stack" comes from? Are we all either SV fodder or Stallmans now?

In fact it is a very hard engineering problem, which doesn't exclude a "philosophical" one. There's a line of research surrounding anthropomimetic robots with the specific task of studying cognition, going back at least a decade.
