Fake news is about determining bad sources, not individual articles. It's about finding propaganda sites that are intentionally and maliciously inventing false stories. A fake news algorithm wouldn't apply to a credible, established newspaper.
- callinyouin 10y agoIf that's the case (and I don't doubt it is, I really don't know how this filtering is supposed to work), isn't that sort of missing the point? The way I understand it, plenty of "credible, established" media outlets are on the hook for propagating unverified, "fake" news. Filtering out the obvious conspiracy theory and propaganda news outlets seems like some really low hanging fruit.
