Hey @searchliaison.bsky.social, why is Google showing an AI article with false information for the query "christopher todd erick fact check" when a perfectly good fact check written by humans is available? leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2...

Psst... Google @searchliaison.bsky.social there's a fact check available about this AI generated image you know... leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2...

All the old people on Facebook and X are upset over this image...

Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks. He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger. Read what he says: www.londoncentric.media/p/london-tik...

Hard to keep up... Yes, a Kid Rock show got canceled. No, not that one.

The Armenian version of "Sir, this is a Wendy's"?

Uh, oh, Elmo!

When Elon Musk and Ian Miles Cheong suddenly like fact-checking apparently...

More Epstein fun... a simple OCR scanning error has sent the conspiracy theory set into a frenzy...

I *knew* @grok would be in the Epstein files...

If you can't put the finger on why this video is fake, here's a fact check ;-)

OMG, @leadstories.com fact check in a visible Community Note under an X post from The White House. Read the fact check here: leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2...

The White House is posting digitally manipulated arrest pictures...

Karoline Leavitt announced that Belgium joined Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’. Belgium’s foreign minister responds.

"Ik had fact checkers moeten gebruiken." - Rik Torfs (Oh, nee, wacht, als dat een parafrase was van wat hij had moeten zeggen dan moet dat zonder aanhalingstekens zeker? Ik zal het aanpassen in de volgende druk van deze post...) vrtnws.be/p.LNGQp7xVp

I'm not "pardoning your French" if you are misinterpreting a clip of a TV guest saying "Ukraine stopped sharing intelligence out of concern for leaks" with "Ukraine deliberately shared fake intelligence with the U.S. and saw Russia act on it". That's not what he said. Not even in French.

Fact Check: French Channel LCI Did NOT Report Ukraine Sent False Strategic Info To US -- Clip Only Mentioned 'Leaks' To Moscow

So this is where we post #xdown now? downdetector.co.uk/status/twitt...

Man, some of those notifications on X are ghoulish... He's definitely not "LIVE".

Once more for the people in the back: "Fact checking is the opposite of censorship, it *adds* information." www.poynter.org/ifcn/2026/if...

It's been exactly one year since Mark Zuckerberg pulled the plug on the US arm of Meta's fact-checking program. But the program trundles on everywhere else in the world: I was able to confirm the company has renewed many contracts in 2026, albeit at a steep discount.

You have to see the images in this story...

Is it 2027 next year? Google is not so sure... www.google.com/search?q=is+... (archived here: web.archive.org/web/20260106...)

See, this is why I like it here. I post about that fake Craigslist ad and an account is like “Here’s more info!” Do the same on Twitter and you’d have a hundred bros wearing shades reply with “WaKe Up ShEeP!!!!!”

That one thing last year? Yeah, that wasn't real....

Ambiance in de kuil! #zonhoven

Elon Musk suddenly, for no reason, decides content moderation is a good thing after all... x.com/i/status/200...

At the rate we're going I wouldn't be surprised if @grok was in the Epstein files ;-)

Trump says the US captured Maduro... truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

Happy New Year! 🥂

It seems the account that did this was deleted. Has anyone lost their visa over this blatant censorship yet?

They've updated it...

Google? Well, Google just puts copies of the hoax in positions 1 through 4 and the fact check in position 5. leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2...

Yahoo!'s AI summary summarizes a hoax about Cher reading Karoline Leavitt's bio... right above the fact check explaining the story is a hoax. leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2...

Bing's AI summary summarizes a hoax about Cher reading Karoline Leavitt's bio... The first search result is an AI driven site that summarizes the hoax too. The third result is an actual fact check explaining the story is a hoax. leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2...

DuckDuckGo puts the fact check debunking the hoax bout Cher reading Karoline Leavitt's bio first... (well done!) But puts an AI summary website that summarizes the hoax in position two... leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2...

Heh, my favorite fact checking slogan could have been in the Epstein Files :-)

Bad Bing! Showing an AI summary of a hoax about a "giant eclipse octopus" while the link to the fact check debunking it sits right below it: leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2...

I never realized they gave my young daughter a weapon of mass destruction when she was in hospital after a grave accident some years ago. It seems she did recover quite nicely despite that. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Don't say "fire the fact checkers" but say "Integrity Strategy pivot" --> a new term I learned from this Reuters story: www.reuters.com/investigatio...
