Abstract

The spread of misinformation on social networks has reached concerning proportions. The scientific community as well as companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter are already tackling the problem in several fronts such as the development of methods to identify the veracity of a post automatically or detect bots that are spreading unreliable content on social media.  

In this talk, we present the state-of-the-art efforts that are being taken to solve the problem of false information on social networks. Then, we will detail on unreliable users and how their identification can be achieved. Finally, we will look at the current status of Twitter and to what extent do unreliable users affect our feed.
