A Propagandist working for a company that pretends to find the facts to various stories and claims. They often spread misleading and or false information for a group or Government. They will often use semantics and nitpicking to label a part of a statement that has little or nothing to do with the point the statement was trying to express, so that they can label it as false in their headline to make those who just see only the headline think the entire statement was false.

Get the Fact-checker mug.An AI whose job is to show Facebook users when a post is false, and cite articles to prove it. Unfortunately, it has several major flaws that turn it into a laughing stock:
Problem 1: It is extremely left-wing biased to the point of censorship. You will NEVER see a liberal post getting fact-checked, but by golly, they will slap every conservative post with a "false/misleading info" tag if it paints President Biden in a bad light. (But then again, it's Mark Zuckerberg. What'd you expect?)
Problem 2: It is denser than a black hole. It cannot detect sarcasm in posts at all, and will fact-check the stupidest posts that are obviously jokes.
Problem 3: The sources it cites are often not credible; see Problem 1.
Problem 4: Sometimes, the sources used actually prove that the post is indeed true, which is exactly the opposite of what it's supposed to do.
