There are thousands of sites in the world that give information, opinions, explanations to the point that it is much easier to search for them on the net than in the school or neighborhood library.
But it is precisely the enormous spread of web pages that makes this global virtual library less effective than you think.
In fact, if it is very easy to find information on any topic online, it is also true that it becomes difficult to know how to choose reliable, transparent, correct ones precisely because of the huge amount of sites that proliferate on the web.
Spreading false information quickly on the web and in society is very easy. However, realizing mistakes is difficult and can take a long time.
What do you have to consider then to evaluate a news?
Don't stop at the headline and don't trust news that can't be verified. Help yourself with the Fact-checking app!
Fact-checking does not claim to unmask "hoaxes" or guarantee the validity of the information reported on a site. Instead, it aims to provide you with a guide to learn how to evaluate the reliability of a web page by examining the useful elements to be able to untangle yourself in the maze of online sources.
Copy and paste the address of the web page you found on the net and you will get the trustworthiness index of the news!
Furthermore, if the web page has already been evaluated by other people, you can compare your evaluation with the average confidence index. ## Similar extensions and apps - [Fact Checking](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.gorz.factchecking) — 6,963 users, 3.20 / 5 - [SiftMate - Fake News Detector](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.siftmate.app) — 19 users - [Fact Check](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.chromefactcheck.factcheck) — 5,752 users, 4.38 / 5 - [Snopes](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.snopes.app) — 48,985 users, 4.37 / 5 - [QuellenReiter:in](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.quellenreiter.quellenreiter_app) — 1,655 users - [AI Fact Checker: Verify News](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.erfan95.aifactcheck) — 17,784 users, 3.97 / 5 - [The Rebuttalbot](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.smallprojectsbureau.therebuttalbot) — 4 users - [Infact: Check.
