Evaluation of Elements of a Prospective System to Alert Users to Intentionally Deceptive Content

摘要

This paper presents a system designed to alert users to potentially deceptive online media. It reviews existing alert mechanisms and labeling systems which provide inspiration for the system’s components. It also discusses how a new mechanism could be developed that uses elements of these common alert mechanisms to warn users about potentially deceptive content on web pages. This paper evaluates the benefits, risks, and limitations of the proposed system. Sources of the alert components, and their integration into a single combined alert system, are discussed as are planned areas of future work.
