Abstract

Individuals are easily exposed to fake news on social media, which could lead to devastating consequences. With its unique transparency and reliability features, such as smart contracts, securely stored hashtags, and reputation systems, blockchain technology is a promising solution to combat fake news. Although a few studies have examined this novel application of blockchain, none of them have empirically and systematically tested the applicability of such a framework in real-life contexts and the acceptance of related users. This paper contributes to the literature by combining three theories (Technology Acceptance Model, Social Capital Theory, and Social Cognitive Theory) into a proposed conceptual framework to empirically examine how people would accept the introduced blockchain – fake news systems.
