Spam and Phishing Detection

Users of traditional centralised social media networks have limited knowledge about the original source of information and even less about its trustworthiness and how this information has spread and been modified. Existing media verification tools include websites or browser add-ons that are closed-source or centralised, or they do not include user involvement in the information verification process. In this paper, we introduce EUNOMIA, an open source, decentralised framework that aims at providing information about social media content and context in an intermediary-free approach and in a way that assists users in deriving their own conclusions regarding a social media post’s trustworthiness. We present its components, how they interact with each other and how user contribution is key to its concept.
