Mediating between social networks and payed curated content producers in misinformative content mitigation

A computer program product for mediating between social networks and paid curated content producers, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by one or more processors, the program instructions executable to:

• receive, by a first computer mediating between a second computer hosting a social network and a third computer hosting a system of a paid curated content producer, from the second computer, a request for removing a paywall of curated content on the third computer, wherein the curated content is to be used to refute misinformative content that has been identified by the second computer;
• predict, by the first computer, a number of visits to the curated content by users of the social network, based on a history of accesses to similar curated content by the users of the social network;
• send to the third computer, by the first computer, the request for removing the paywall of the curated content;
• send to the third computer, by the first computer, information about the number of the visits, wherein, based on the information, the third computer determines whether to remove the paywall;
• receive from the third computer, by the first computer, a notification that the third computer removes the paywall of the curated content;
• provide to the second computer, by the first computer, a link for accessing the curated content without the paywall on the third computer;
• and
• wherein the second computer flags the misinformative content and presents the link for accessing the curated content aside the misinformative content.

A computer system for mediating between social networks and paid curated content producers, the computer system comprising one or more processors, one or more computer readable tangible storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer readable tangible storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions executable to:

• receive, by a first computer mediating between a second computer hosting a social network and a third computer hosting a system of a paid curated content producer, from the second computer, a request for removing a paywall of curated content on the third computer, wherein the curated content is to be used to refute misinformative content that has been identified by the second computer;
