Where the numbers come from

The archive numbers count the published entries of the fact-check archive, collected from public fact-checking sites such as TurnBackHoax (MAFINDO), Kominfo, CekFakta.com, Tempo and Hoax-Slayer; the year is the one the original fact-check was published. Detector checks are counted from the detector's search log, which the previous version of this site started in April 2019; only the number of checks is shown, never the texts. Everything on this page is read from the live database and refreshed every ten minutes. Read more about the research and what is recorded.
