Social Media Trials
A Type of Trial in The Internet Court of Truth and Lies
The Internet Court of Truth and Lies is uniquely designed as a fast, easy, and interesting tool for anybody to get revenge on the liars and promote the truthtellers in the media. Whether you are a creator of media content or not, you can move the truth or lie pointer toward the truth and help fix the media, including the social media. It provides what is scientifically the best possible fix if you use it.
The key to its success is that it does not try people. The Court tries believed truths or lies themselves. It does this by forcing dialogue between a plaintiff and up to eight jurors in trials. The Plaintiff and Jurors are each required to answer verdict questions sufficient to dissect any supposed truth or suspected lie as a truth a lie. The effect is a fast structured dialogue that unveils how people actually think about the supposed truths or the suspected lies. All participants are provided with ample opportunity to present evidence in support of their judgements.
The value of running a claim through the court is that you will discover how an why people will disagree or agree with each other, and this turns out to almost always be interesting for all parties whether you are the plaintff or a juror. Until you have the experience of providing verdict answers, it is hard to understand what I am talking about.
There is one special type of trial that is particularly easy, fast, and effective for anyone to be a plaintiff and run on most any Social Media platform, such as Facebook or X Twitter. We call this type of trial, a “Social Media Trial.”
Social Media Trials work for any Internet Platform where people can make posts, comments on the posts, and get notified of any comment made on a post or another comment.
The Social Media Trial is composed of five steps.
- Go onto social media and write a claim that something in the media is true or a lie. Yes, you are going to try a case on your own claim that something is the truth or a lie.
- Wait and collect comments on your claim. There are several ways to get comments. If you want a random selection of people making comments, then you can pay for your statement to be an ad. And certainly it also works to assert something that naturally attracts comments, but then you are likely to be getting comments from people who think like you do because of the social media algorithms.
- Now you file a case with TruthCourt.Net. As plaintiff, you accuse what you believe was the truth or the lie in your post, and you answer the eight verdict questions. When you file a case you set a day and time for the trial to reach settlement a few days in the future, and you get and copy an invitation link to your trial.
- Now you comment on the commenters to your original post with the trial invitation from the case you filed. Because this is a social media platform, they will all be immediately notified of your comment on their comment. It is good to let them know they can accept the invite and file their verdicts anytime before, or during, the trial settlement time and date that is on their invite. Only the first eight people who attempt to accept your invitation will be accepted as jurors. Any others did not accept in time to be a juror in your trial.
- TruthCourt.Net will settle the case when you have told it to settle, so you can then see all the verdicts of others. You or any of your jurors can also click the Share link on the settled case to share your entire trial with the world.
That’s it. You let Social Media select your jurors and TruthCourt.net to keep your court case private from the prying eyes of the Social Media. Under the copyright on the trial, you can only share the Share Link so any sharing of trial results includes all the verdicts. You can say whatever you want in another comment about your original post, as a Plaintiff or Juror, but you must include that link that presents the trial with all the verdicts.
The amazing thing about TruthCourt.Net is everyone in a trial gets to see how people disagree with the Plaintiff and among themselves. Again, until you see what we mean, you are not likely to understand how interesting this exploration of how other people think can be. What makes TruthCourt.Net unique is it tries truths and lies and not people, and the verdicts always answer the same eight question about any claimed truth or any claimed lie.
There is never a final decision. Anybody who has been in a trial, whether Plaintiff or Juror, can re-run the same trial as Plaintiff and gather more people together in the Social Media. The accusations and verdicts will speak for themselves and nobody can escape truths that get realized and documented.
Trials are not inherently public. TruthCourt provides no way to search through the trials of others and provides participants with strong privacy.
That said, a “Conference Trial” uses a conferencing link of your choice to let people talk to one another about their verdicts at the trial settlement time.
And, of course, if you send that conferencing link to other people than simply the jurors you invited, you can hold a public trial that you, as Plaintiff, have made public.
Teachers can also run private trials in the classroom or for homework without any such conference link except as may be provided in ‘hybrid’ teaching situations.
Social Media Trials are a special type of Internet Court of Truth and Lies Trials, but they all run the same way. Social Media Trials simply utilize a few basic features of social media to make it easy to find jurors to test your beliefs about supposed truths and suspected lies in the media.
