They utilized the timestamp of a tweet to estimate the time that a tweet has been archived. They then established left & right time boundaries to limit search space to make resolving captured tweets from the web archive more efficient.

Another reason fake tweets are shared is for satire. 100k likes and no comments is suspicious. How can you tell it's real? Web archives serve as a good src of evidence that it's real. Their goal is to build an automated method for evidence that a tweet is authentic @tarannum44.bsky.social #ACMHT2025

A Spotlight on Rumors
YouTube video by UW (University of Washington)
The talk draws upon a decade of research on rumors, conspiracy theories, and disinformation to shed light on how the right-wing media ecosystem evolved (in part through the manipulation of digital and social media) and is reconfiguring politics/governance around world www.youtube.com/live/YnJ5o09...

The researchers collected their first data in October 2023 and March 2024. Initially, they were struck by how inconsistently Google showed its warnings. A deep learning model they built to analyze the queries suggested that the warnings should have appeared between 29 and 58 times as often as they did in practice. For motivated conspiracy peddlers, they were easy to evade: just adding quotation marks or a single letter to a query was typically enough to make the banner disappear.
The researchers were beginning to collect additional data last September when they discovered something unexpected: Google had stopped showing low-quality banners entirely, weeks before early voting began, without disclosing it.
NEW: Google used to warn you when you were seeing low-quality search results. Then, in the weeks leading up to the 2024 election, the company quietly turned that warning off www.platformer.news/google-data-...
