DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES Purpose of the Website This Website operates as a disinformation research and media literacy resource. Our mission is to promote news accuracy, foster critical media consumption, and expose false, misleading, or manipulated content circulating in publicly available media sources.

All content published on this Website is selected, uploaded, and managed exclusively by the Website’s editors.

AGE VERIFICATION AND ACCESS TO GRAPHIC CONTENT General Access The main Website is intended for users of all ages and contains content that has been curated for general audiences. However, in the course of documenting and exposing disinformation, we may encounter content that is graphic, disturbing, or otherwise unsuitable for minors. Restricted Content Sub-Domain Graphic photographs, videos, or other media depicting violence, explicit imagery, or otherwise sensitive material will be made available only through a separate sub-domain of this Website (the "Restricted Section").
