Abstract

Social networks have become a common way for people to communicate with each other and share ideas, thanks to their fast information-sharing features. But fake news spread on social networks can cause many negative consequences by affecting people's daily lives. However, the literature lacks online and real-time fake news detection systems. This study aims to fill this gap in the literature and to handle the fake news detection problem with a system called FANDC, based on cloud computing, to cope with fake news in seven different categories, and to solve the real-time fake news detection problems. The system was developed using the CRISP-DM methodology with a hybrid approach. BERT algorithm was used in the system running on the cloud to avoid possible cyber threats with the dataset created with approximately 99 million big data from COVID-19-TweetIDs GitHub repository. It was trained in two periods with 100% accuracy during the modeling phase in terms of training accuracy. Experimental results of the FANDC system performed the real-time detection of fake news at 99% accuracy. However, previous studies experimental level success rate in the literature, were around 90%. We hope that the developed system will greatly assist social network users in detecting fake news in real-time.
