Overview
The spread of disinformation online is a growing problem in Europe and beyond. The EU-funded PROVENANCE project addressed the problem by creating a service – in the form of a plug-in/personalised virtual companion – that evaluates online content.
The aim of PROVENANCE was to help citizens navigate content and develop digital literacy competencies as they browse the web and social media by prompting users to stop and think about the credibility of content It provides contextual information to citizens on the quality of content as they browse the web or social media.
The PROVENANCE Social Network Monitor verifies multimedia content by applying advanced tools for multimedia analytics. The plug-in contextualises content with relevant information such as the quality of the writing and the degree of visual manipulation.
