They’re just building Fakespot into the browser so the same way Fakespot does, by analyzing the user who posted the review
What does "analyzing" mean?
They detect when a whole bunch of reviews are posted at exactly the same time, or are posted on a fixed schedule, or use extremely similar language, or with a brand new account...
Basically they use spam-detection techniques on reviews.
What does “techniques” mean?
It’s that Lego that’s slightly more advanced
Algorithms.
What does "algorithms" mean?
