The open internet and the triumph of the IEEE RFC model of continuous improvement and SHARED OWNERSHIP is the model that Academia needs to migrate toward. Bots and machine-generated content from bad actors like China do not subvert the open internet thanks to an enormous shared oversight. This is b/c oversight is shared and recognized as valuable. I think Academia must create a shared review infrastructure which squeezes out the bad actors and even pursues a registration and banning system that eliminates anonymous unverified content. This model has worked splendidly for the evolution of the internet and can work for academia I think.
