In order to mitigate the misinformation problem, we created the project Elections Without Fake <http://www.eleicoes-sem-fake.dcc.ufmg.br/> and developed a few technological solutions able to reduce the abuse of misinformation campaigns in the online space. Particularly, we created a system to monitor public groups in WhatsApp and a system to monitor ads in Facebook. Our systems showed to be fundamental for fact-checking and investigative journalism, and are currently being used by over 150 journalists with editorial lines and various fact-checking agencies.
