If a system exists, the system will be attempted to be manipulated. We've heard this before. We've seen this before.
How can Nostr fix this?
A Web-of-Trust helps to alleviate untrustworthy people. We can build this WoT on Nostr.
Our public keys are our identities and these identities will be used for marketplaces, entertainment, relationships, and more.
Don't be confused. A WoT is not a social credit score.
Social credit systems differ in their approach to trust assessment. Social credit scores are implemented by governments or centraized entities that collect and analyze data about individuals' behavior. This is the scary, dystopian future that you've read about.
In contrast, a WoT is a decentralized system where individuals build trust through direct interactions and reputation. This community driven approach promotes transparency and accountability. Social credit systems do not have these features. WoT gives power back to the individual and to their community.
Keep building.
