An excellent example of self-policing on the web with Harvard University website http://www.herdict.org/web

If we are based in the UK, Europe or USA it’s very easy to forget that our web access is generally as open and freely available as anywhere in the world. Many web users are not so fortunate and reports and statistics show that it’s a political minefield of claims, counterclaims and mystery. Perhaps cover-ups, perhaps conspiracy theory, but whatever the causes the advent of true social networking and development of social technologies means that services like Herdict are likely to gain in popularity as the power of self policing on the internet expands globally.

What do you think?
