The Newtown school shooting tragedy turned social media channels into another disastrous rumor mill. Ryan Lanza and his friends suffered a flood of hate messages after vigilante facebookers attacked him following false reports by CNN (the shooter was Adam Lanza, Ryan's brother). Actor Morgan Freeman had to deny a viral violence-in-media rant widely attributed to him (although, this may not be as bad as when rumors of his death were circulated). To combat vicious falsehoods, social media updates need a credibility rating. A new lie detecting algorithm that correctly identified truthful tweets 86% of the time could mark a giant leap forward toward that goal.
