<![CDATA[The rapid rise of information sharing on social media has amplified the spread of fake news, making its detection increasingly critical. As fake news continues to proliferate, the need for efficient detection mechanisms has become more urgent to protect users from misinformation and disinformation. This paper presents a comparative analysis of multiple machine learning models for detecting text based fake news on social media platforms. Using models such as gradient boosting, XGBoost, and linear support vector classifier (SVC) on the Infor mation Security and Object Technology (ISOT) fake news dataset, the study demonstrates that gradient boosting achieves the highest accuracy of 99.61%, while XGBoost provides a strong balance with 99.59% accuracy and a signifi cantly lower execution time, making it more suitable for real-time applications. These results offer valuable insights into the trade-offs between accuracy and computational efficiency, contributing to the development of more practical de tection systems and future research in the field.]]>
