I'm a hacker at heart and I'm driven by my passion to see a better life for myself and those around me. I have very diverse interests, ranging from Machine Learning to Biotech.
I'm from South Africa and I've been seeing a lot of fake news recently. I saw an article about people saying they don't want vaccines and that the corona virus isn't really contagious and its just a government ploy to kill off people and they must do everything they can to not get tested (because thats how they get the virus - unbelievable) and vaccinated.
These messages are being passed around so easily and I feel like if people only were better informed it would go a long way to curtailing this.
In light of this I'd like to make a whatsapp bot that you can forward things to and it will tell you whether its fake news or not.
What do you guys think?
