Social Trust-based Blockchain-enabled Social Media News Verification System

In the current digital era, information exchanges can be done easily through Internet and social media. However, actual truth of news on media platforms is hard to prove, are susceptible spreading hoaxes. As a remedy, Blockchain technology used ensure reliability shared create trusted communications environment. this study, we propose model by adapting an epidemic methodology scale-free network. A Blockchain-based verification system implemented identify credibility its sources. The effectiveness investigated utilizing agent-based modelling using NetLogo software. simulations, fake with level 20% assigned low News Credibility Indicator (NCI ± -0.637) value for all different network dimensions. Moreover, Producer Reputation Credit also decreased (PRC 0.213) so that trust factor reduced. Our approach has been Ethereum Smart Contract several tools such as React Solidity, IPFS, Web3.js, Metamask. By showing measurements indicator reputation credit user during dissemination process, proposed smart contract effectively limit behaviour in improve content quality
