An article co-authored by a UC Santa Barbara scholar calls for an interdisciplinary approach “to reduce the spread of fake news and to address the underlying pathologies it has revealed.” In “The Science of Fake News,” published in the March 8 issue of Science, UCSB professor of communication Miriam Metzgerand her co-authors lay out the problems and potential strategies for tackling fake news.
Metzger, who collaborates with fellow UCSB professor of communication Andrew Flanagin to research the credibility of information online, noted that fake news, by its very nature, presents real challenges to study. Roughly 47 percent of Americans get their news through social media, the article says, particularly Facebook, Twitter and Google.
How much fake news is being spread through those platforms? It’s difficult to say, according to Metzger. The bottom line is we don’t actually know, and it’s hard for us to get the proper data to know for sure,” she explained. Platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Google probably know, she says, “but are often not willing to share their data with researchers.
The paper notes that social bots likely play an outsized role in the dissemination of fake news. Sharing content is one of the salient features of social media platforms, and this is where bots come into play. A recent study, based on observations of account behaviors and connections, estimates between 9 and 15 percent of active Twitter accounts are bots. Facebook, meanwhile, has estimated that 60 million bots infest the platform.

Right now, we are in a fight for survival and what we do determines what life will be like for generations to come. No one should be forced to bathe in fluoridated water, breathe air which is purposely contaminated and be human resources for pharmaceutical and military experimentation. This is not longer a game. The artificial intelligence is not possessed by a demon but will be used by people who want to demonize it and weaponize it if we continue to let them take the intellectual property and best ideas of the people and then dispose of the human resources. Look at the number of dead doctors, bankers, holistic doctors, lawyers, politicians and how they died. It has gotten beyond absurd. At this point in history we need to have a veteran assigned to every newly birthed child as a body guard just to get them safely to school so they can then be sitting ducks for deep state false flag, crisis actor events to summon the main stream media for advertising revenue so they can gofundme their assets and MKUltra program.
We are the co-authors of many books, internet blogs and articles exploring the emerging paradigms of this time. Our knowledge and expertise spans many topics including Autism, Morgellons Disease, Exopolitics, Healing and Ascension.
Our most recent books, published on the Cumberland Academy Payhip site, cover a multitude of topics including Galactic history, Extraterrestrial intervention, Deep State and secret programs, Deception, Hybridization programs, the Moonbase, the truth about Silent Superbug ‘Morgellons Disease’ and the Artificial Intelligence that is attempting to control our planet during this ascension process. It is about how humanity can wake up and reach the next level of consciousness.
We founded World Community Autism Program and Cumberland Academy to share our visions and insights into Global healing, Transformation and Ascension

basically a plot to keep the masses in a technology induced coma, a better replacement for sodium fluoride in the water supply I guess! Keep the masses non resistant, depressed while making them vulnerable to subliminal manipulation.....and most importantly, under constant monitoring
