From Information Disorder to Informative ICTs: Toward Integrity by Design
摘要
This chapter consolidates the book’s theoretical and empirical contributions by articulating a comprehensive framework for designing informative ICTs. Informed by insights from the preceding case studies, it synthesizes how transparency, reliability, and equity operate together as design principles rather than isolated normative goals. The chapter addresses the growing conditions of information disorder and clarifies the relationship between informative ICTs and information integrity, arguing that integrity is not merely a regulatory or corrective response to misinformation but an outcome that can be embedded within sociotechnical design. By revisiting cases that actively contend with misinformation and disinformation at scale, the chapter shows how the validity, traceability, and accountability of information are preconditions for informativeness itself. It concludes by translating the framework into a set of practical design do’s and don’ts, offering guidance for designers, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to build ICTs that support information integrity through intentional, value-driven design.
