In the latest episode of Cointelegraph’s Hashing It Out podcast, the co-founder of XYO Network, Arie Trouw, explains how blockchain technology can help fight fake information on the internet alongside a general change in attitude.host Elisha Owusu Akyaw looks for answers on how blockchain technology can create a more sovereign internet in an interview with the co-founder of XYO Network, Arie Trouw.
Trouw explains that the sovereign internet is based on that idea of the original version of the internet but with the functionalities of Web2 and Web3. “So the sovereign internet is really, to some degree, a step back from Web2 to Web1, where each party has their own services and their own peer-to-peer functionality that they share with somebody else. And the internet works the way it’s meant to be, where it’s resilient to outages.”
Trouw concedes that blockchain may not be the answer to the problem since dealing with fake information on the internet requires the average person to be a skeptic and have the desire to verify everything they read.
