HOW TO: Spot Fake News (Via Facebook)

/in , /by

Facebook have detailed their top 10 tips to Spot Fake News:

  1. Be skeptical of headlines. False news stories often have catchy headlines in all caps with exclamation points. If shocking claims in the headline sound unbelievable, they probably are.
  2. Look closely at the URL. A phony or look-alike URL may be a warning sign of false news. Many false news sites mimic authentic news sources by making small changes to the URL. You can go to the site to compare the URL to established sources.
  3. Investigate the source. Ensure that the story is written by a source that you trust with a reputation for accuracy. If the story comes from an unfamiliar organization, check their “About” section to learn more.
  4. Watch for unusual formatting. Many false news sites have misspellings or awkward layouts. Read carefully if you see these signs.
  5. Consider the photos. False news stories often contain manipulated images or videos. Sometimes the photo may be authentic, but taken out of context. You can search for the photo or image to verify where it came from.
  6. Inspect the dates. False news stories may contain timelines that make no sense, or event dates that have been altered.
  7. Check the evidence. Check the author’s sources to confirm that they are accurate. Lack of evidence or reliance on unnamed experts may indicate a false news story.
  8. Look at other reports. If no other news source is reporting the same story, it may indicate that the story is false. If the story is reported by multiple sources you trust, it’s more likely to be true.
  9. Is the story a joke? Sometimes false news stories can be hard to distinguish from humor or satire. Check whether the source is known for parody, and whether the story’s details and tone suggest it may be just for fun.
  10. Some stories are intentionally false. Think critically about the stories you read, and only share news that you know to be credible.

Google Teaching Kids About Fake News

/in , /by

Google is taking a lot of time to tackle fake news and one of the ways that they are going to be undertaking this task it by teaching kids aged 13-18 years old via a series of workshops called Internet Citizens. It has been designed by experts from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, UK Youth and Livity, whilst Google has an advisory council which includes Metropilitan Police and thinktank Demos.

According to Google:

“The workshops will help young people find a positive sense of belonging online and teach skills on how to participate safely and responsibly, and use tools such as flagging and comment moderation to make the web better for all. Some of the specific topics include what could be done in response to offensive speech, fake news, echo chambers and how they could use video to bring diverse groups together.”

BORING CONFERENCE!

BORING CONFERENCE IN UNAVOIDABLE CLASH WITH LOCOMOTIVE CLUB OF GREAT BRITAIN AGM ON MAY 6TH

– May 6th sees regrettable and unprecedented overlap of two landmark gatherings in the enthusiast’s calendar

The Boring Conference, an annual conference devoted to the ordinary, the mundane and the everyday – and now in its seventh year – goes head to head this year with the Annual General Meeting of the Locomotive Club of Great Britain.

 

Talks at this year’s Boring Conference at Conway Hall include:

Mid 20th century Danish public information films.
Model villages.
Bleach.
How to fold each broadsheet in a confined space in order to do the crossword.
Music and knitting patterns co-authored by microbes.
An on-stage ironing demonstration

Previous Boring conferences have covered topics as diverse as ‘the sounds of vending machines’, ‘a taxonomy of sneezes’, ‘hot air dryers’ and ‘East German pedestrian signals’.

James Ward added: “I’m very excited about this year’s line up and I just hope that the clash will not cause any difficulty.  Obviously I’m not expected any funny business, but anyone travelling by train to attend the Boring Conference might think about choosing an alternative mode of transport in case there are, shall we say, conversations with the higher ups in the Locomotive sector that lead to travel delays.”

Burger King Sabotaged!

/in /by

In the US a 15 second Burger King advert that included a BK employee asking “OK, Google. What is the Whopper burger?” was highjacked by the public. It was intended to activate Google Home smart speakers and some Android phones, triggering the devices to read out information about the burgers from online encyclopaedia Wikipedia.

Crafty members of the public edited Wikipedia to describe the Whopper as the “worst hamburger product” and another added cyanide to the list of ingredients. However Wikipedia have come under fire after reports that BK’s own marketing team edited their Whopper page before the ad ran.

The BBC understands the ad was blocked but BK later ran a tweaked version on US TV.

Will more companies start using software like this?

Is this becoming minority report?

Is this an invasion of privacy or is it genius marketing?

Do you think Burger King were aware this was going to happen?

Are you surprised by the lengths that companies will go to to get you to buy their stuff?
