Stop Fake News and Misguided Social Media Messaging While Alleviating Cybersecurity Risks: Ensure User Anonymity

Contact Your Elected Officials

The proliferation of fake social media accounts is one of the biggest threats to democracy in todayโ€™s world. Using fake accounts, cybercriminals impersonate others and spread fake information across the world in an effort to influence all aspects of society; everything from how people vote to the products they buy. According to a Pew study, over 62% of American receive their news from social media websites.1 Arguably, fake news is now more prevalent on social media platforms than โ€œrealโ€ news.

The dissemination of fake news by bots and cybercriminals not only has the effect of misleading the public, but it undermines public trust in the media and government. Indeed, the spread of fake news intensifies conflict, and may even incite wars under entirely false pretenses. It is easy to see how manipulating peopleโ€™s perception of reality in this manner incites conflict and can even unnecessarily cause wars to happen. Moreover, because no one knows what is โ€œrealโ€ and what is not, fake news undercuts the peoplesโ€™ ability to participate in the governance of their country, including voting on a truly informed basis and holding their leaders accountable for the โ€œrealโ€ version of events that is actually transpiring. Stopping bots, cybercriminals and even governments from creating fake accounts on internet platforms should thus be one of humanityโ€™s most important goals in todayโ€™s world.

Enter humanId โ€“ One-Click Anonymous Sign On (โ€œhumanIDโ€), located online at www.human-id.org.

I first encountered humanID when one of its members reached out to me over LinkedIn to ask if I was open to chatting about the organization. Although I had never heard of humanID before, as a litigation attorney at Wilk Auslander LLP in New York City, who also serves as the co-chair of my law firmโ€™s cybersecurity practice, I was intrigued and responded, hoping to learn about the platform and potentially offer my assistance.

After learning more, I found humanID to possess the potential to revolutionize the internet: not only to thwart the proliferation of fake social media accounts spreading fake news across the globe, but to also stop online platforms from tracking usersโ€™ internet usage history, search functions and other private information. Additionally, because humanID ensures user anonymity, websites that employ its sign-in method will alleviate their potential liability for hacks under the cybersecurity laws which have become progressively more rigorous across all fifty states, and could even potentially lower the cost of cybersecurity insurance coverage.
