What are the available datasets for fake news detection

Question

I want to know about recently available datasets for fake news analysis

There are methods/algorithms to automatically identify fake news, see e.g. 10.1002/pra2.2015.145052010082. I don't know whether there are ooen datasets. — FuzzyLeapfrog, Feb 05 '17 at 20:46

Buzzfeed News has been doing work on this, and has published data related to fake news, news patterns, and social media patterns on their Github: https://github.com/BuzzFeedNews/everything. Might be a good repo to browse.

You should check out the Observatory on Social Media (OSoMe) at Indiana University. The team have been been archiving 10% of public activity on Twitter for the last 10 years. The data isn't directly available to people not affiliated with the University they have a number of algorithms and visualization tools that you can run against the data.

They have a service called 'BotSlayer' which you can set up yourself on a free AWS instance and track certain hashtags and key phrases.
There is also 'Botometer'which will assess any twitter user name and socre it based on how 'bot-like' it is.
Finally, they have a tool called 'Hoaxy' which allows you to visualize the spread of a news or fake-news story across twitter to see which accounts are sharing/re-tweeting it.
