The lie detector is being developed by European and investigations are being controlled from London. The goal is to help institutions realize if they are true or false rumors about a certain topic on Facebook and Twitter.
The need for this type of tool, which again can bring doubts as to the confidentiality and privacy of each relates, came after the wave of vandalism and riots that swept London in August 2011.
The researchers explain that during these riots, it was thought “that social networks should have been closed, to prevent the rioters used them to organize. (…) But social networks also provide useful information . The problem is that everything happens so fast and we can not separate truth from lies, rapidly, “reported the BBC Bontcheva Kalina, a researcher at British University of Sheffield.
In this action it then became necessary to create a tool able to identify the lies that will stop to Twitter and Facebook. The project aims to analyze the sources of certain news or “post” and from there determine viability. Those responsible estimate that within three years the lie detector can be made available.
