Introducing newsbox: Detect fake news with Machine Learning

Fake news is both a problem for curators of user-submitted content and for ad-placement platforms. In April, Germany stated that it would fine social media €50 million for not taking down fake news. Facebook had more engagements on fake news stories during the US election than real news. Google lost millions of dollars as brands pulled ads over concerns of them appearing next to fake news and hate speech. This is why we are releasing newsbox.
