These two slides by @kbontcheva, shown at #EUTackleDisinfo event in Brussels, outline very well a) how technology can facilitate the detection of false information, and b) what we plan to develop: a set of verification tools and services

.@kbontcheva of @SheffieldNLP on how technology can facilitate the detection of false information, and where we come in: by developing and providing a set of verification tools. Building on @InVID_EU work, @RevealEU, @PhemeEU and integrating with @trulymedia #EUTackleDisinfo

#Factcheckers and academics play a very important role when it comes to fighting #disinformation. However, they’re rather limited in what they can do when they have no access to content that resides on social platforms! Says Giuseppe Abbamonte @ #EuTackleDisinfo event in Brussels
