RE: SILVER BULLET ? MAY BE !

 Dear Arindrajit,

 

 

I am glad you liked my suggestion

 

As to the “ fake news “ , the question is not :

 

Ø   How ( technologically ) can we solve this issue

 

Question is :

 

Ø  How badly we want to solve this issue

 

Answer is :

 

“ Capital punishment “ for users ( of social media ) spreading fake news

 

Mechanism :

 

#    IndiaDataCustodian web site will compile log of online activities of all users

 

#    From this , an AI software , would decide if a particular posting is fake

 

#    From that point onwards, IndiaDataCustodian will stop “ authenticating “ that

      particular user whenever he clicks “ Log me in with IndiaDataCustodian “ , on any

      web site

 

#   This will bring a DIGITAL DEATH for that user for the rest of his life  !

 

 

 

I don’t think the Social Media web sites are themselves really interested in black-listing any user

 

And government just does not have manpower resources to monitor billions of daily postings

 

For details , please look up :

Dear Mr. Parekh,

                           Many thanks for sending this across. I think it is a great idea to figure out a way in which we get compensated for the value of our data. I fully agree with the submission.

 

However, my question for you is-How do you reckon that this would solve the issue of fake news being spread through the platforms? E

 

Warmly,

Arindrajit.

Dear Arindrajit,

 

 

Just came across your article :

 

Resurrecting the marketplace of ideas

 

 

-       Where you write :

 

Given the complex nature of the legal, social and political questions involved here, the quest for a ‘silver-bullet’ might be counter-productive.

Instead, it is essential for us to take a step back, frame the right questions to understand the intricacies in the problems involved and then, through a mix of empirical and legal analysis, calibrate a set of policy interventions that may work for India today.

 

 

Do you think my following suggestion ( sent as E mail to Cabinet Ministers / NITI Aayog / Anurag Thakur etc ) , could work in India ?

 

If not , does anyone  have a better idea ?
