Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction, 2022 How do the reasons people post misinformation affect how they respond to fact checking interventions? In this research, we conducted a qualitative study of people who shared misinformation. We started with stories marked as false by a popular fact checker, Snopes, and identified people who posted those stories on Reddit.

Fact checking and analyzing the web [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2013 ACM SIGMOD International Conference on Management of Data, 2013 Fact checking and data journalism are currently strong trends. The sheer amount of data at hand makes it di fficult even for trained professionals to spot biased, outdated or simply incorrect information. We propose to demonstrate FactMinder, a fact checking and analysis assistance application.
