Post-October 1st: Information junkies:

- Anybody can be a reporter, instantaneously distributing news on their online communities
- Mass misinformation, inaccurate and unverified content.
- Clickbait: Users are hooked by a continuous data input.

- What is the benefit of using APIs if news update can't be followed?
- Will RSS technology be back even stronger than before?
- Before, the Internet could link to things without permission.

What do I intend to do:

Use tools for decentralization
- Explain which tools I am experimenting with in my project and what can be achieved from it:
- Tools: RSS feed, diffengine, scrapy, beautifulsoup, ttrss, shell scripting, python, Linux OS, document classification systems, MongoDB, Tor, Raspberry Pi.
- What can be achieved: scraping specific info, crossing paywalls (newspaper with required subscription), stream information change from websites using RSS technology (or not), archiving, updating data, etc.
-Examine the relevance of cyber geography and how to get round its limitations
- Consider deep web media platforms and platform-specific tools

Expose this using document classification systems
- Reserach Wikileaks structure?
- What is Eventregistry?
- Classify documents in a database, MongoDB
- Invite requests, guests collaborations, feedback, peaces of code, docs, etc.
- Hidden geolocation (anti online surveillance)
- Create a local web server in the Raspberry Pi
- Reinforce & support tools used by hackers during the 1st of October.
