Editor’s note: The well-known blogger Ben Thompson explored the problem of zero trust in information with the help of the New Crown virus outbreak last time, thinking that the Internet has a positive effect on the spread of information and the fight against New Crown virus. This time he further explored the types of information (emergency information, narrative, facts, history) and the dimensions of definition (sensitivity, tolerance for uncertainty), and explored the role of the Internet on different types of information. The original title is: Defining Information
I wrote an article called “ Zero Trust Information < span>. In the article, I praised the social media and Twitter in particular, which is called the early warning system of the new crown virus crisis. Over the past few weeks, various groups of people (some of them epidemiologists and public health officials, but most of them are not) have sounded alarm bells on Twitter to alert everyone to the exponential spread of SARS-CoV-2 and its consequently Impact of the resulting COVID-19 disease on the healthcare system. The culmination of these alerts was the results of an (illegal) test posted on Twitter by a member of the Seattle Flu Institute. Test results indicate that community transmission of the virus has occurred in Washington State. As I wrote in that article:
But once we get through this crisis, the story of Twitter and the heroic Seattle Influenza Institute is worth remembering: Who is preventing them from doing critical research? The answer to this question is obvious. And what ultimately caused their research to accelerate the response of individuals and companies across the United States? The first is of course their courage and responsibility, and the second is that anyone on the Internet can post anything.
Later that night, the rest of the U.S. finally opened after the president spoke, Tom Hanks was infected, and the NBA was suspended
