#StopTheSpread
Before battling COVID was cool, we were fighting the pandemic of misinformation. #StopTheSpread is a tool made with journalists to help Filipinos judge information they read online. It teaches them how to spot fake news using the common signs, which is especially useful in a country where fact-checking with mobile data can be expensive. The chatbot is free on Facebook Messenger and can instantly review an article if it is likely reliable, suspicious, or needs further review.
