BitPress
Bitpress News is a nonpartisan corporation founded in 2017 to fight misinformation in a new way. Through the combination of technology and news analysts, we aim to prevent the spread of misinformation online. We accomplish this in three steps:
1. Identifying misinformation when it occurs.
2. Fingerprinting the instance of misinformation so that it can be identified in different forms (articles, memes, tweets, videos, etc.).
3. Providing this fingerprint to platforms and consumers so they are aware when they encounter misinformation.

B.S. Detector
A plug-in browser extension that alerts users to unreliable news sources on platforms and outlets, like Facebook, Twitter, and Google. It can be added to Google Chrome and Mozilla browsers. It uses lists of fake news sources as its references to determine what information is accurate and what is fake. When it identifies a story that is potentially false, it flags it with a red banner and presents the message "This website is considered a questionable source." Technologist Daniel Sieradski created the B.S.
Aos Fatos
Daily, journalists from Aos Fatos follow statements by politicians and authorities of national expression, from different party colors, in order to verify if they are speaking the truth. For this, we adopted a formula with seven steps to carry out our checks.
Aos Fatos believes that if journalism does not make an impact, it has failed in one of its main objectives: that of monitoring power. For this reason, it invests in multiplatform content, in order to amplify our voices and win an audience that would never be within our reach.
