This project combines research on watermarking and machine learning with a user experience study to develop novel technological tools to help users to distinguish between original and altered media content. With the proposed tools, we hypothesize that online social media users will be able to identify the authorship of a content to distinguish legitimate from fake multimedia content in an autonomous manner, without the need for the platform manager to control or validate any content. Furthermore, the watermarking tools will also provide content creators with a way to protect their creations against manipulation. Hence, the aim of this project is to provide user-centric tools to face disinformation and that contribute minimizing the redistribution of fake news in online social media.
