"he internet needs a way to help people work out if they can trust what they read online, says the World Wide Web's creator."

Why does the internet need to do this since I haven't seen any movement to to help people trust what they read in newspapers, magazines or books. Also, what about helping people figure out what's true on television, the movies or the radio. This appears to be nothing but a pitch for censorship on the web. I for one don't need to be told what is or isn't true.-

I think the issue isn't so much censorship, but credibility. It's really not so different from online shopping. There are certain seals of approval, such as from the Better Business Bureau, and security certificates that I always look for when shopping from a new online store.

What I would do would be to have a review process for various types of news sources and reference articles, and if the site is approved it simply gets a stamp for its page. I think it's particularly easy for false scientific information to be posted to the web, and many people don't know the difference.
A lack of credibility is why teachers in school often limit the students' use of the Internet as a resource. I am highly in favor or something that would increase the overall credibility of the web, while still allowing regular people with a message to share their thoughts.-
