About Us
DebunkIt is a rapid-response fact-checking project that detects and disrupts the spread of lies, conspiracy theories, and other harmful narratives targeting at-risk communities in the United States.
Learn MoreWhat We Do
We counter misinformation, disinformation, conspiracy theories, and other harmful narratives where they spread—quickly, transparently, and with the evidence to back it up. Our work runs across the full lifecycle of a false claim: catching it early, debunking it, tracking it over time, and helping others recognize it.
Monitor in real time
We monitor major social platforms to rapidly identify emerging harmful narratives, prioritizing checks by reach, velocity, and harm.
Track recurring narratives
Disinformation rarely arrives once; narratives repeatedly resurface, rebranded and recycled across platforms. We maintain a searchable living database.
Debunk with evidence
Every correction we publish is sourced, verified, with concise, visual, shareable debunks tailored for each platform’s audience effectively.
Engage journalists and newsrooms
We work with journalists to strengthen coverage of coordinated harmful campaigns, providing verified material, expert context, and responsible guidance.
Map the amplifiers
We identify and map accounts, pages, groups, and networks spreading falsehoods to reveal how harmful narratives are manufactured and amplified.
Build community capacity
We equip targeted communities through our tip line with toolkits and training to recognize, report, and counter disinformation.
