Abstract: Nowadays, social networks are well known in our societies, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. The propagation of fake news can quickly become harmful in a political or economical context for example. Consequently, it is important to understand the dynamics of information spread to better control it. In this paper, we propose a new model of e-rumor where the novelty is to consider irresolute individuals. From this last one, we define a threshold R0 completely determining the dynamics of the model. If R0 is less than one, the rumor will die whereas if R0 is greater than one, the rumor will persist.
