FactScope

About

FactScope is a free, AI-powered browser extension that helps you instantly verify if a news article, social media post, or image is trustworthy — right where you're reading it. No extra tabs, no sign-ups, no technical knowledge needed.

🧩 The Problem

Misinformation spreads faster than ever. Fake news looks real. AI-generated images are nearly indistinguishable from photos. Misleading posts go viral before anyone can verify them.

Most people don't have the time or tools to fact-check everything they see online.

💡 The Solution

FactScope sits quietly in your browser. When something looks off, click the extension and get an instant trust assessment — with a clear explanation of why.

No jargon. No dashboards. Just a straight answer.

✨ What You Can Do
🗞️ Scan any webpage — One click on any news article, blog, or social media page gives you:

• A trust score with a plain-English verdict
• An explanation of what makes the content credible or suspicious
• Key claims automatically checked against real news sources
• Links to supporting or contradicting articles

🖼️ Verify images — Right-click any image on social media to check:

• Whether the image is AI-generated or manipulated
• Whether the caption or claim is backed by real reporting
• Links to news articles covering the same event

🗣️ Community insights — Every scan contributes to a shared trust layer:

• See if other FactScope users have flagged the same content
• Vote on whether an analysis was helpful
• Read crowd-sourced context notes from other users
• Flag content you believe is misinformation
