🌐 In the fast-paced world of social media, fake news, and scam emails, misinformation and disinformation can spread like wildfire.
🚨 As the social media giants move away from fact-checking content, knowing truth from fiction—especially potentially dangerous or costly fiction—is more important than ever.
🛡️ Meet The Fact Check Extension: your guardian against misleading and dangerous content.
📅 Catalogue updated weekly!
✨ The Fact Check Extension (Checker) is a revolutionary free browser extension designed to fight the spread of misinformation online. With its unique alert system and vast catalogue of fact checks and scam warnings, Checker is one of the most significant tools available in the battle for truth on the internet.
💻 Whether you're browsing through social media feeds, checking your inbox, reading the news, or surfing the web, if Checker detects posts with known misinformation, disinformation, or scams, it will let you know instantly.
⏳ While some other fact-checking extensions require users to flag content themselves for review, Checker takes the hard work out of getting on top of fake news. It works silently in the background, only activating when something flagged by a reputable source has been spotted on your screen—meaning you aren't being clogged with graphics or unnecessary notifications while you browse.
🔗 And unlike other fact-checking services that use AI to generate fact-check information, Checker links its users straight to the original source—rewarding the people who write the fact checks for their work.
