GOAT: Greatest Online Anti-misinformation Tables
Is your online discussion overgrown with misinformation? Have a GOAT clear it up.
We surveyed college students and found that most never trust what they read online, unless it comes from a friend or a reputable news source. What would convince them to trust a stranger?
A Great Online Anti-misinformation Table, or a GOAT, allows people to quickly present their sources for all to see, improving trust in online anonymous discussions.
GOATs streamline the process of sharing sources with a simple, unbiased user interface. It incentivizes providing quality sources and cleanses discussions of opinions.
So next time you feel like a discussion may become littered with misinformation, insert a GOAT and watch it keep your discussion clean.
Built for the University of Washington Winter 2022 Social Computing Capstone.

Heyo, I’m a Senior in the CS department graduating March 2022 (this is my last quarter!). I had experience doing web applications, but it was my first time tackling the important issue of misinformation. I learned a lot of design aspects/decisions from the capstone and got to see a lot of cool ideas come to reality with GOAT!

I’m a Senior studying Computer Engineering and graduating in June 2022. I liked seeing how our team turned the word “goat” from a randomly generated team name into the brand for our prototype.
