Social media have become sadly familiar with fake news. Scientists too are working hard to understand, detect and develop solutions to the spread of misinformation, especially in the last 7 years

Key points we covered: individual and social biases, the emergency of polarization and echo chambers, fact checking, disinformation spreading models, fake news detection (content-based, user-based, multimodal…), and then bots, trolls… a lot to chew!

While scrolling through your social network's feed, you find a news article: it's false news, and you spot it immediately. How did you do?

@giaruffo and I explored what contextual clues may shape users' judgment of the credibility of online news. 👇🧵

💎 At last a gem: we noticed that some people left the test, came back at it a while later, and finished it.
Did they "fact-checked" spontaneously? Judging by their performances it seems they did.
Guess who? Millennials and young adults definitely know how to use a computer...
