New Tool Makes Misinformation Easier to Identify, Understand and Stop

One problem with misinformation is that most people don’t recognize it while browsing the internet. Even fewer understand where misleading content originates, which poses a challenge in stopping misinformation in its tracks. To resolve this, researchers with the School of Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) and Avast Software have developed MisVis, a tool that can help online users identify and stop the spread of misinformation.
