The internet was originally funded and controlled by DARPA a part of the US militry machine and intended to tap resources of computers worldwide to fight enemy threats by combining the processing power of the few computers available at that time. Once the 'net' was created the nodes or people at each of the computers newly connected exchanged files and email. Email popularity led to spamming and eventually the creating of spam filters and arrests of large spammers. Now corporations spam by email and people spam in blogs. Though leaders and directories once bridged stories and surfaced value but today the volume of stories and spam overwhelm them. You can't be careful without tools, processes and practice. Curating news stories may be one way to help people avoid scammers.
