This is cool!!

Would love to know on the accuracy on how well it will play a role like will it automated or will it be a manual check?

kibatech commented 5 years ago

Thank you for your interest in my project. We are looking at automating it. It will take the form of a plugin that will validate news reports and check for the authenticity of the reports.

Hello Kibatech, Can you please elaborate on how you are going to automate it? How would the authenticity of the reports be determined?

kibatech commented 5 years ago

By fact checking the news report on reputable platforms and reliable resources. We can grade the reports as

Reliable, Not too reliable, Yet to be verified, Unreliable.

We are still working on the schematics. We have not concluded yet.

So, at times, the "reliable" and "reputable" sources also pick up the viral content that is moving around, with less focus towards authenticity. How do you tend to classify that?

kibatech commented 5 years ago

You are right but we will be very stringent in the choice of our platforms. Also, when we will continuously review and improve our algorithms in a bid to make sure they are addressing the focus challenge of Fake news.

The spread of misinformation can cause several harms online, it's a great thought and start but how will your automation work in verifying fake news? Awesome vision by the way

anacarolinards commented 5 years ago

@abhayrjoshi did good questions. If the tool could bring tips and information educating the user on how to do their own checking, it would be great!

kibatech commented 5 years ago

Thanks for the insight and feedback. It means a lot to this project. I'm looking for collaborators and resource persons that can support this project.

I'm always open to new ideas.

Best regards. Kayode.
