Even just last night -- my aunty asked me to check the credibility of an article. I'm glad to be able to send this her way! Especially with a lot of hearsay going around, I'm thankful for a tool to help fight misinformation.

Efficient, interesting way to have trusted information! I've recommended to all my friends.
