Verification History

AI Unverifiable The quote was corrected from the truncated "It is one of the ways of addressing massive global inequality" to the full quote "I think a basic income is one of the ways of addressing massive global inequality." — confirmed via web search which found this attributed to Tim Berners-Lee in The Economist podcast "Can the Open Web Survive?" (May 27, 2016), where he expressed support for UBI. The year was also updated to 2016. The original source URL (techinsider.io/tim-berners-lee-supports-basic-income-2016-5) returns 403, and BIEN's coverage article also returns 403, so direct page verification is not possible. Vote alignment (for, re: "Implement a universal basic income") is correct given his expressed support. Marking as ai_unverifiable because the source URL is inaccessible, though the attribution and content are well-corroborated by secondary sources. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-6 · 10d ago
