The world is becoming increasingly complex, so it’s difficult to know what to believe and what sources to trust. Therefore, we rely on institutions like the government, employers, and churches. However, these institutions are becoming increasingly unreliable, so we need to make sense of the world ourselves. There are many sources of information that overload us – some more reliable than others and some contradicting others – so, we first need to determine what sources we should trust with help from our connections. We can then start to be confident that what we learn from them is the truth, but we may also want other ways to verify the truth of claims. Finally, once we are confident that what we read is true, then we can share it with others.
Unlike news websites, Inspect will not publish clickbait or have paywalls. Unlike other social news reposting services (e.g., Slashdot, Digg), Inspect news is from connections we trust. Finally, unlike mobile apps that provide news updates (e.g., Apple News+), Inspect news is from other people, not from automated algorithms.
