Title: The Impact of Disinformation Algorithms on Detecting Fake News: Accuracy and Transparency Subtitle 1: The Accuracy of Disinformation Algorithms Role of Algorithmic Tools: Computational algorithms, particularly machine learning and neural network models, are pivotal in detecting fake news. These tools leverage vast datasets to identify patterns andBADs (Below Average Performance) or "nals" (no action labels), amplifying false information. Challenges in Accuracy: Lack of transparency in algorithmic processes hinders credibility. The algorithms amplify false information, especially in social media cycles, eroding Trust. Social vs. Non-Social Algorithms: Social algorithms process local interactions, while non-social ones rely on external data sources, impacting…
