“TRUETAP-one tap to know the truth

“TRUETAP-one tap to know the truth

Misinformation and fake news are spreading very easily on social media platforms like whatsapp, instagram and twitter. False alarms about politics, health, finance and also the current events can go viral within a few minutes of posting. The post reaches billions before they know if it’s true or false. This leads to panic and public confusion. But a browser extension makes this easier which can verify news content using fact checking API (application programming interfaces)

“TRUTH OVER TREND”
Most solutions in the current market requires on users to manually report the fake content. Content shared across platforms often bypasses the detection test. Users don’t have a simple system or tool to fact-check the information. Current fact-checking resources are mostly in English only, but the misinformation is often spread in their native languages.

The beneficiary are users because they get quick and reliable verification browser before sharing news. There will be a less spread of rumors and panic within the communities. This extension browser can get reports of suspicious content faster and improving their response times which reduces spreading of false misinformation. It improves trust and safety on their networks.

As a student who relies on social media for daily news, I’ve personally seen friends and family forward false claims unknowingly. A single fake post can create fear or influence opinions unfairly. I want to empower everyday users- especially non-technical people-to verify content instantly.
