Fake news always has been a problem. We, too, might have fallen for a false rumor at least once in our lifetime. Moreover, the fight against fake news over social networking media is intricate. Misinformation related to home remedies for COVID 19 that have not been verified, fake news for lockdown extension or release, casualties and damage in any riots, fake consultancies, and conspiracy were prevalent during the lockdown. Many Researchers have implemented several algorithms for the detection of Fake News. In this paper, we have used several past published research papers along with our research to compare the performances of three algorithms, i.e., Naive Bayes classifier, Logistic Regression, and Support Vector Machine. This provides an idea of the most practical and efficient algorithm, Support Vector Machine, that can be used for fake news detection.
