The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Sybil-Resilient Online Content Voting (2009, background): “The problem of mislabeled or low quality content also exists in peer-to-peer systems due to its open nature of allowing any node to publish content [9, 18, 27].”
The Bittorrent P2P File-Sharing System: Measurements and Analysis (2005, background): “A unique study found that for popular songs on Kazaa, up to 70 % of the different versions are polluted or simply fake [10].”
Autonomic Transport Management Systems—Enabler for Smart Cities, Personalized Medicine, Participation and Industry Grid/Industry 4.0 (2016, background): “• V2V pollution: A common problem in open P2P-Systems is so called pollution [53, 67], where malicious peers may send manipulated data to affect the overall system and change its behavior to earn a benefit or just to create confusion.”
Peer-to-peer systems (2010, background): “Studies show that systems that do not protect the integrity of inserted data (including many file sharing systems) tend to be rife with mislabeled or corrupted content [8, 21].”
