Abstract


Fake news is exponentially grown due to the popularity and ease of putting forward our thoughts and opinion. This easily can be believed by a big mass of people and circulating the same causes chaos and unwanted disputes. With fierce competition in news outlets and social media, it has become a threat to consumers. For months, the Corona virus and its associated impact has given rise to many fake news worldwide, including India. During the initial stages of the corona, fake news particularly on social media was spread recklessly. Contents and news about the origin, cause, symptoms, and cure and conspiracy theories about the virus were on the feed. This brings in the need to help the masses to be able to not fall prey to this fake or biased news using ML algorithms. The use of ensemble machine learning algorithms and vectorizers and the main theme of this paper.
