Excellent. Well done. We all need to develop a critical eye around misinformation and understand the impact. | |

Ho avuto modo di poter provare l'estensione. Molto utile per avere fin da subito un idea su come leggere una notizia. Leggendo le altre recensioni dimostra anche di essere molto cresciuta in questi anni, ampliando il suo database di testate giornalistiche e blog divulgativi, e di aver aumentato i dettagli delle valutazioni fatte. L'unica pecca, facilmente rimediabile, (forse è successo solamente a me) è l'attivazione dell'estensione macchinosa. Avevo difficoltà nell'accedere e successivamente era necessario riavviare il browser per poterla utilizzare. | |

Not as unbiased as they claim to be; they willingly turn a blind eye to some right-wing outlets: https://checkmyads.org/branded/how-newsguard-boosts-the-american-disinformation-economy/ | |
