Information Integrity in Community-led Projects

Proposal status is Rejected
Session Description

Commmunity-led projects (such as OSM, Wikipedia, and FOSS) encounter complications in ensuring information integrity is maintained. Coordinated attempts are made to subvert such initiatives and compromise knowledge infrastructures, which strike at the root of these projects, i.e., trust. In this talk discuss measures taken by community projects to prevent bad actors from subverting them, and what decentralised networks can learn from them.

Key Takeaways

  • How to build and maintain trust in crowdsourced projects

  • What 'trust' looks like in Decentralised Networks
