About Us

Why I Created Fact Check

I watched my own family fall victim to health misinformation that led to dangerous decisions. By the time I could provide them with accurate information, they had already spent money on ineffective treatments and delayed proper medical care.

This personal experience showed me how misinformation causes real harm:

Divided Families

Arguments based on false premises tear communities apart

Health Risks

Dangerous claims lead people to reject proven treatments

I created Fact Check because access to accurate information isn't just a convenience—it's a necessity.

Who Funds Us?

I deliberately chose a funding model that preserves our independence. Unlike most fact-checking platforms, we rely solely on user contributions.

Traditional Fact-Checkers

  • Funded by tech companies with agendas
  • Subject to corporate pressure
  • Prioritize traffic over accuracy
  • Humans fact checking and providing their view of the truth, introducing the human bias
