@geraldoramos How do you generate the database? I have been working since Friday at a Reboot Democracy hackathon at 500 Startups in San Francisco. We are developing a new schema for news, and an easy way for reputable writers and publishers to sign documents. But also a database quite a bit like this one. We would LOVE to collaborate if you're game!

Fake news is a real problem. This extension will generate a 1-10 trustworthiness score for each visited site. A notification will be triggered if a site is very likely to be unreliable (below 5 points). The app icon in the extensions bar will change the status based on the site’s score. A green check mark icon will be displayed if the score is between 8-10, a yellow question mark icon will be displayed if score is 6 or 7 and a red “X” icon will be shown in case the score is under 5. We use different sources and methods to assess the quality of the content, such as Alexa.com data, third party blacklists and a custom made "fake news sites" database.

Is there plans to allow users to rate websites?

@gholias you can do that: https://fakenewsmonitor.org. It goes to a database and is processed (but it obviously will not blacklist all sites people report)

@gholias in the future the idea is to incorporate the report in the extension as well...
