THECRITICALLENS
Web platform to combat misinformation through automated credibility analysis and fact-checking
The Problem
In today's digital age, where information flows uncontrolled, discerning truth has become more difficult than ever. Misinformation spreads rapidly through social media and digital platforms, and citizens lack accessible tools to evaluate the credibility of content they consume daily.
The Solution
Development of a platform that automates credibility analysis through algorithms based on critical thinking principles. The system evaluates titles, authors, content, and sources, providing detailed feedback. Includes automated scraping of fact-checking portals and a verification database for statistical analysis.
Impact
Empowers users with practical tools to evaluate information, contributes to the fight against misinformation, and provides valuable insights into misinformation patterns through verification data analysis.
