Fake news verification System

Challenge Description with context
(At least one Paragraph)

:

Fake news is information posing as news, which has not been verified and is not true. It could be clickbait, rumours, hoaxes, propaganda, or satire. Fake news and alternative facts have dominated the news cycle of late. We need a system that uses social argumentation to verify the validity of proposed alternative facts and help in the detection of fake news. We utilize fundamental argumentation ideas in a graph-theoretic framework that also incorporates semantic web and linked data principles. The argumentation structure is crowd sourced and mediated by expert moderators in a virtual community.
