Abstract

This chapter is intended to supplement the discussion of fake news in this book with an explanation of whether and under what conditions it is possible to automatically detect fake news or at least to mark corresponding posts with a warning. An important goal of this presentation is to keep the explanations, especially the information science aspects, as generally understandable as possible. The explanations are given with reference to a tool which – limited thematically – performs such a marking.
