**2018**

- [3266953-002](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3266953-002) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Adding more regulations, processes and procedures cannot restore confidence in institutions, because the traditional trust and cohesion mechanisms have already reached their limits.
  > To restore confidence in the "old world", efforts have tended to focus on introducing and implementing more regulations, processes, and procedures. Yet, the traditional trust and cohesion mechanisms have reached their limits.

**2024**

- [4957318-007](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4957318-007) [mechanism/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Web2 platform architecture is a causal contributor to distrust in legal institutions: centralized models driven by engagement metrics prioritize sensationalism over nuanced discourse, which accelerates misinformation and echo chambers and magnifies public distrust.
  > This design incentivizes the rapid spread of both information and misinformation, often amplifying extreme viewpoints and fostering echo chambers. As a result, these platforms can magnify public distrust in legal institutions

- [4957318-029](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4957318-029) [design/argued] -- Web3 systems answer the web2 pathology at the architectural level rather than the content level: decentralized, transparent, community governed designs eliminate the centralized control that drives misinformation and echo chambers, and substitute transparency, decentralization, and user control.
  > Unlike Web2 platforms, Web3 systems aim to eliminate the centralized control that exacerbates the spread of misinformation and the creation of echo chambers. Instead, they prioritize transparency, decentralization, and user control,
