Fake News Filter Shows Propaganda Accounts Active in Don Cherry Scandal
November 14 2019 - 4:00AM
Datametrex AI Limited (the
“
Company” or “
Datametrex”)
(
TSXV: DM, FSE: D4G) yesterday shared the results
of its fake news filter on the Canadian Federal Elections ( #ELXN43
) in coordination with our client, Defence Research and Development
Canada (DRDC). Now that the tool has been built and delivered, the
Company is now able to further commercialize the solution and offer
it to government and enterprise clients alike.
Out of interest, we decided to turn the filter on the recent
scandal involving hockey commentator Don Cherry to see if known
propaganda accounts and BOTs were active in the conversations and
trying to use it as a wedge to further divide public opinion in
Canada. We were not surprised to learn that of the 50,000 plus
tweets we analyzed in one day, more that 30 accounts were
suspicious in nature and using the issue to promote a divisive
agenda. A number of the accounts identified were also active in the
#ELXN43 campaign buzz on social media.
As with the project we completed for DRDC, we used our
NexaNarrative tool, for narrative
tracking, disinformation detection, and publisher classification.
Building on our previous fake news detection work, NexaNarrative
provides narrative identification and growth tracking software that
allows analysts to track the spread of disinformation online and to
engage this disinformation using the BEND doctrine of information
warfare currently in use by Canada and most other NATO
countries.
“This project further demonstrates how important it is to have
tools to identify fake news sources so government, corporations and
high profile individuals can control the narrative around their
issues and brands,” says Marshall Gunter, CEO of the Company.
