Researchers at Indiana University Network Science Institute (IUNI) and the School of Informatics and Computing’s Center for Complex Networks and Systems Research (CNetS) have developed “Hoaxy”,  an app that let’s you view in real time the dissemination of false news, hoaxes, and lies. cnets.indiana.edu/...

I tested it on the meme that George Soros funded the Women’s Marches.  This screen shot shows the result.  You can use the time slider to identify the spread of the lie over time.  The app also lets you identify major hubs that generate the lies.

This is brilliant!  Have fun playing with it.
