After many months (if not years) of design, check, re-design cycles, we are finally proud to announce that our test “”Can you spot fake-news?” is up and running at https://www.fakenewslab.it. So far we observed approximately 10,000 attempts from different persons, and we will be ready to present some preliminary results very soon. If you want to take the test, please be aware that it is only available in Italian (yet). We will be more than happy if you participate: the more data we have, the more reliable will be our final results.
We are extremely respectful about ethical concerns: every data we collect is 100% anonymous. Also, our main purpose is strictly ethical: we want to quantitatively assess how our decisions can be manipulated and how our personal verification processes can help us to spot fake-news no matter how they are presented to us.
Our test “Can you spot fake-news?” is on line
