Abstract
A growing chorus of scholars and policy makers have decried the proliferation of false information on the Internet—fake news, conspiracy theories, and the like—while at the same time downplaying the dangers of Internet censorship. This Article proposes a simple alternative to censorship: a retrodiction market in which participants buy and sell belief contracts.
Keywords: belief contracts, conspiracy theories, fake news, false information, Internet, truth
