TruSign: The Fake News Terminator
TruSign is a browser extension developed by kaedetai that aims to verify author-approved content. Available on the Chrome platform, this free add-on falls under the category of Browsers and specifically Add-ons & Tools.
With TruSign, users can verify the accuracy of a link by utilizing blockchain technology. It allows authors to sign their links, such as article links, news articles, social media posts, and blogs, as a way to demonstrate their willingness to take social responsibility for their content. Each author's signature is signed by TruSign's private key and published on the public chain, making it impossible to forge. This traceable sign history of each author provides transparency and accountability.
In addition to verifying links, TruSign also enables users to endorse their own links with an immutable signature. By clicking on the TruSign icon, authors can append their signature to the article, further bolstering the authenticity and credibility of their content.
TruSign not only serves as an author authentication mechanism but also utilizes social collective wisdom to promote real-name accountability and combat fraud. Powered by FiO Multi-Cross Chain technology, this browser extension offers a reliable solution for verifying author-approved content.
