Fake News Combatting Chatbot

Inspired by my parents' news messages on my family group text, I realized that occasionally they would send false news without even knowing. The absurd news would caught my eye, and I would fact-check it. Knowing that these tasks are perfect for an algorithm, I create a bot on LINE (a dominant messaging platform with over 44 million users in Thailand). With the use of LINE Messaging API and Google Firebase, the bot would detect that repeated message and automatically reply with a message containing explanations and credible references.
