Summary
Fatcher is a people driven fact checking tool. Users can report web pages with nonfactual content or fake news and also check if a web page has been reported by others.
The count of reports on a page and the domain will help readers not fall prey to fake news or nonfactual content. While internet provides access to vast amounts of information, its easy to lose to lose our way in the vastness.
Requirements: User must be logged into Edge and have the sync feature enabled. We only ask for this to be able to add your report based on your Email ID and to make the process seamless. You are never asked to provide any login credentials to Fatcher.
