This community is on a mission to fact-check and call out anyone who posts misinformation online, and so far, they’re doing a great job.

The great thing about these features on social media that allow users to call out false claims is that they give us an opportunity to correct the record. Posts will get flagged as untrustworthy, and eventually, followers will realize that certain accounts are simply uncredible. Of course, this isn’t a perfect solution. Social media platforms should still take responsibility and try to prevent such posts from gaining traction in the first place. But when you can’t trust big corporations, at least you can trust some people to keep others accountable.
