Facts and Fakes

Unfortunately, many videos contain inaccuracies and intentional deception. Video hosting sites do not provide a systematic approach to video fact-checking. The format of publishing videos on video hosting sites does not allow the authors to give sufficient evidence of the facts in the published video. Comments are chaotic or disabled, and comments with links get banned. For these reasons, it is difficult to objectively and quickly assess the accuracy of the information contained in the video. “Facts and fakes” solves these problems and displays references to refutations, proofs and disputs of the facts contained in the video, as well as the video rating of the video and the overall channel rating. The overall rating of the channel characterizes its reputation, which will serve as a good motivation for video bloggers to publish carefully checked material.

Web links to external sources are used as a refutation of a fake/inaccuracy or confirmation of a fact. Registered users can rate other users' links and add their own web links. The totality of ratings form the video credibility rating and the channel trust rating.
