Abstract: Many individuals get their news from sources they don't know anymore, including Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, and Telegram, which are all popular social media platforms nowadays. False information spread through online is faltering a major origin of concern for many persons. Some of the variables that contribute to the propagation of fake news include cheap cost, easy accessibility via social media, and a wide variety of low-budget internet news sources. More than just the content of a story engaged users' earlier postings and social actions may reveal a lot of information about their thoughts on the news and have the potential to significantly enhance the detection of false stories. online media has interested individuals over all world in propagating fake information owing to its simple availability, cost-effectiveness, and convenience of information sharing. Creating fake news for personal or commercial advantage can be done. It may also be utilized for other personal gains such as slander renowned individuals, alteration of authority laws, etc. As a result, a variety of research methods have been used to identify false news and prevent its disastrous repercussions. Motivated by the problems, we give a complete overview of the available fake news recognition algorithms in this study. After that, we use ML models like Random Forest (RF), Naive Bayes (NB), Random Tree (RT), Linear Regression (LR), and Support Vector Machines (SVM) to learn our data (SVM). We then applied these models, which have shown good results in accuracy and other assessment measures, such as F1-score, recall, and faithfulness.
