1. I'm no journalist, but I'm fairly sure there's some news sites that break the news first and then others follow (either through primary or secondary sources)

2. I haven't implemented fact-checking algos. At the moment I'm not planning to use AI for it, just simple cross referencing (not finalized).

3. When we do start momentum, we'll get on board a highly specialized ethics team and safety team. We're not a state actor or influenced by anyone so we're just creating gimmick-y articles on the internet for now. We'll eventually combat those issues if and when similar services pop up.

One reason we want to be first is that we know state actors are going to pop up soon. Singapore, Russia, Philippines, the list goes on for which they want something like us to control propaganda. We're hoping we'll be able to gain enough momentum before they start (or get further along than they already are at) to set a good solid standard. But with all things, this will take time and deliberation.

At risk of sounding rude, “we’ll get to the ethics” later doesn’t sound reassuring.
