  • “Rather than build one stable definition that can be used to identify content, feature- or identifier-based approaches work from the ground up, using methods drawn from content analysis or social network analysis to identify potential features associated with ‘fake news,’ disinformation, and spam. … Groups like the Credibility Coalition … are using this approach.”
