Why is there a need to combat fake news online?
In 2019, Statista reported that 47 percent of Americans witnessed fake news from various sources. As a work at home blogger, I can attest to the fact that there are more fake work at home jobs, money-making opportunities, and the like than there are real work at home jobs. As more and more people use the internet to consume and digest the latest headlines, reports, and news stories, a lot of people will then share it online.
This is where the problem lies. Fake news can spread very fast online because others will, in turn, share what you’ve shared not knowing that it was a fake story. Fake news can cause harm and damage to companies, individuals, businesses, or even to the person who unintentionally shared it. This is exactly why a company would hire people to detect fake news online and remove it.
What are the requirements?
Appen only has 4 simple requirements for this position.
- You will need an interest in reading online content.
- A passion for the truth.
- A desktop computer or laptop with a high-speed Internet connection.
- Take and pass an assessment test. (Study materials will be provided).
What job duties will you be performing?
In this role, you will be helping to make the internet a safer place by researching and evaluating claims that have been made in various types of social media content like articles, photos, or videos to determine whether they are credible. These evaluations will be performed on your desktop or laptop computer to be flagged and removed from social media sites if they are fake.
How many hours are required?
Appen requires you to work 20+ hours a week in this position. Because it is flexible, you can work late at night, on the weekends, early in the morning, or whenever it is most convenient for you.
How much is the pay?
The hourly pay is not listed in this job description but others have reported earning anywhere from $12 to $14 per hour.
