TECHNOLOGIES AS A TOOL IN THE FIGHT AGAINST HOAX

Summary/Abstract: With the advent of new technologies, people have gained another means of disseminating information. Specifically, after the availability of personal computers, tablets, smartphones and their connection to the Internet. The Internet as such offers a wide range of possibilities and it is up to the people to use this digital space. In addition to a large number of benefits, the Internet also brings risks. One of these risks are hoaxes. Hoaxes are currently the biggest problem with disseminating information on the Internet. Unlike ordinary media, the Internet space is not sufficiently regulated, which results in easy spreading of false news. Social networks have long overlooked the problem of disseminating this type of information. In the last period, they have modified their rules for users several times and created a network of employees who check their compliance. On a global scale, it is not possible to guard against all rule violations or hoax checks. Therefore, technologies that can analyze text and videos through machine learning have begun to help combat false information. They are more economical and efficient.
