Twitter Trails

“For each story, our algorithm measures how widely the story spread and how skeptical users are about its validity. By measuring crowd behavior, the TwitterTrails algorithm allows journalists to investigate claims and determine whether they appear to be true or false.” (Source: Organization/Initiative Website)
