New: International Fact-Checking Network condemns raid on CRTA, home of Istinomer fact-checkers, in Serbia. Serbian authorities premised the raid on unproven claims from Trump, Musk and other US officials about USAID program corruption. poynter.org/news-release/2…



I know I have my criticisms, but I am always impressed with Keith Coleman 🌱😀🙌, Jay Baxter and other's work on this product. Seems small, but this is a HUGE improvement for information integrity. Bad actors like to screenshot unpublished notes to act like they're rated helpful.
