Abstract
Today, technological advances and easy and open access to the Internet and social media have increased the international dissemination of information and news through social networks. In many cases, social media has become a primary source of information for the general public, governments and brands. Online posts are valuable and important because they can deliver news and reach even the most remote regions and people quickly and efficiently. These days, with the power of social media to reach and influence such a large audience, we realize that a lot of fake news and information is causing confusion and disorder in people’s minds. The objective of this research is to identify fraudulent news in social media posts, to increase the reliability of online news, and determine how text analysis and machine or deep learning algorithms will work together to make the outcome more accurate. This research focuses on using natural language processing, text recognition, analytics, and machine learning techniques to separate fraudulent and genuine content from a dataset created by combining various Kaggle datasets, with an accuracy score of 97% from ML models and 94% using BERT.
