The New York Times (NYSE:NYT) publication has revealed the successful completion of a trial for a new blockchain-based system to detect misinformation.
According to a June 12 blog post, the publisher built a prototype to provide reliable metadata on various pictures found online. Often, pictures taken in a different location at a different time will be used in connection with unrelated events. Through the platform, readers and social media users will be able to know who took the picture and when.
