TL;DR:
A new start-up company called Authenticated Reality is working on creating a new layer of the internet, by allowing users to effectively censor posts and comments they deem "fake." The users are required to submit their driver's license upon registering, so they can be vetted. All-in-all it seems like an exclusive club for those who choose what they want you to see.
How this is related to Pizzagate:
Loosely related - it shines a light on the ever increasing number of methods that TPTB use to effectively silence the Pizzagate and other possible citizen investigations. Basically one more step towards an Orwellian future.

Key takeaways:
Enough with fake news: a startup launching this week called Authenticated Reality wants to be the ultimate source for finding out what's real and what's fake online.
The company's product, which it calls "The New Internet," is launching in a closed beta this week. It's essentially a sandboxed layer that lives on top of every webpage its users visit, allowing them to authenticate stories they believe are real by placing their digital signature on them for other users to see.
To weed out people who themselves might be inclined to write fake news or incendiary comments, Authenticated Reality has come up with a verification system that requires users to submit their driver's license information to prove that they are who they say they are.
Addressing fake news with a closed network of verified commenters might make the web a more trustworthy place for Authenticated Reality's users, but it is a markedly different approach from the recent high-profile efforts in the media and tech world to combat the problem.
One of those efforts is a collaboration between Facebook, Google and major news outlets to verify news coverage of the 2017 French presidential election. Instead of the public verifying the news themselves, they'll send suspicious stories, photos and other content to real journalists who will use an arsenal of analytics tools to validate them.

We need to look into this company and the folks behind it.
Smells like a new service for PEDOS or the silencing of future investigators.
Think about how this could be included with the major social media apps.
Wouldn't take more than a software update... "Social Media Fighting Fake News"

The massive censorship of social media has already backfired with lots of people. Every time I have brought up how messed up it is that Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc. are censoring people because they don't agree with them I've been met by a room full of nodding heads.
