<aside> 🗣️ ZKorum is working on an innovative concept called verifiable moderation, funded by the European Union under the NGI Trustchain project. Like traditional forums and social networks, moderation is centralized around a governance controlled by ZKorum. But unlike them, ZKorum’s governance is both transparent (think of a Wikipedia-style conflict-resolution) and verifiable, meaning that if ZKorum deletes a post, anyone can come over with the verifiable data representing the post and confront ZKorum with proof that this data was actually sent, then deleted. Anyone can independently use unforgeable cryptographic proofs to hold ZKorum accountable for its moderation decisions. This innovation builds censorship-resistance without having to rely on federated systems.
