The term fake news has been a part of our vocabulary since the 2016 US presidential election.

As the amount of fake news in circulation grows larger and larger, particularly in the United States, it often spreads like wildfire.

Subsequently, there is an ever-increasing need for fact-checking and other solutions to help people navigate the oceans of factual and fake news that surround us.

The researchers used the results to create an algorithm that can predict whether a news headline is fake based on eye movements.

The data could come from news aggregator website users or from the users of other sources, e.g., Feedly and Google News, as well as from social media, like Facebook and Twitter, where the amount of fake news is large as well.
