How VerifyViral Fact-Checks Viral Claims

Viral information can spread quickly, but being widely shared does not mean it is true.                                                                                                                                                                                                       At VerifyViral, we examine claims using available evidence and credible sources.

Our Fact-Checking Process

1. Identify the claim
We first identify exactly what is being claimed.

2. Check the original source
We look for the earliest available source and relevant context.

3. Examine the evidence
We compare the claim with official documents, government sources, reliable databases and other credible evidence where available.

4. Assign a verdict
We use clear labels such as True, False, Misleading, Unverified or Investigation Ongoing based on the evidence available at the time of review.

5. Show the sources
Readers should be able to review the evidence themselves, so relevant sources are provided whenever possible.

Our Principle

Don't just share it,Verify it.

Fact-checking is based on available evidence and may be updated when credible new information becomes available
