Individuals can be misled by fake news and spread it unintentionally without
knowing it is false. This phenomenon has been frequently observed but has not
been investigated. Our aim in this work is to assess the intent of fake news
spreaders. To distinguish between intentional versus unintentional spreading,
we study the psychological explanations of unintentional spreading. With this
foundation, we then propose an influence graph, using which we assess the
intent of fake news spreaders. Our extensive experiments show that the assessed
intent can help significantly differentiate between intentional and
unintentional fake news spreaders. Furthermore, the estimated intent can
significantly improve the current techniques that detect fake news. To our best
knowledge, this is the first work to model individuals' intent in fake news
spreading.
