Not sure if I understood it correctly.

I reviewed the API documentation of https://api.hackafake.it/#!/default/post_fake_news_resource
and my understanding is that by calling this API the contents of the underlying database will change.

If so, I believe this API should be protected i.e. through user authentication, to prevent script kiddies from spoofing and messing up with the hackAfake scores and user reputation.

What do you think?
