Due to the undisputed fact that we live in an environment of prolific misinformation, alternative facts and outright lies, I am sharing a link to a list of fact checking tools I’ve found.
It’s compiled by the Rand Corporation and can be used to verify multiple information sources. Each tool targets certain types of information such as purported info found in TikTok videos or political speech by (some) politicians. Other tools check the veracity of printed ‘news’ for degree of accuracy:
• ClaimBuster
• Video Verification Plugin (InVid)
• Misinformation Detector
These are just a few of the helpful tools out there for navigating through the oceans of information and misinformation out there so you can make informed decisions on how to vote for candidates and policies that will affect us all for years to come. Please Vote Responsibly!
