TruthGuard Extension

TruthGuard is a crowdsourced fact-checking platform that leverages human intelligence in collaboration with AI and natural language processing to combat disinformation and propaganda. At its very essence, TruthGuard revolves around the people. It thrives on the enthusiastic participation of an engaged user community in collaboration with AI hence actively contributing to the pursuit of factual accuracy while staunchly preventing the spread of propaganda and disinformation. TruthGuard is equipped with a range of tools, including Web Extensions, whatsapp chatbot, Web Portal and USSD/SMS for offline capabilities.

TruthGuard is addressing the pressing disinformation context that has permeated our information landscape, jeopardizing trust, cohesion, and security in the process. In an era where disinformation and propaganda are propagated through various digital channels, our solution is focused on systematically identifying and countering false claims across diverse content categories, including politics, health, science, and beyond. We recognize that the consequences of disinformation extend far beyond individual beliefs, impacting public discourse, policy decisions, and social stability.
