Abstract

According to Vox Media, Sinclair Broadcast group currently owns local news stations that broadcast to 72% of American households. (Change 2018) Finding a local news source with no bias is nearly impossible. Current social media applications contain bias as well since friends are more likely to agree with each other. Questioneez is an anonymous social media app designed to create unbiased discussion. Our web application allows users to post region-locked surveys with multiple choice answers or open-ended questions that allow any other users locally to respond to. Any discussion about local politicians, city or state-wide events or even little daily decisions can be asked and responded to anonymously. Each question has a discussion board that users can view and respond to popular answers. Our app creates a great way to get a third party's opinion when you have too much trouble finding unbiased discussion on your own.
