Additional Info

FactConnect is a pluggable reviewing and reputation service available on any content platform. The goal is to fight against disinformation and fake content in any online article (News websites, reviews, blogs, influencers, etc.) or any post on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, WhatsApp, etc.). The tool will be available as a web extension, installed in any browser to get there. The badge promotes a new level of trust for readers by decentralizing the content reviewing process, allowing users to keep the same reading habits in the same content websites.
