Submitting claims

To submit a claim, press the 'Report Now' button on the home page. You will be prompted to enter the title, text, and links to relevant sources.

You'll also have the chance to take a side and stake FACT on your claim.

What makes a good claim?

  • Specificity: The claim should be specific enough that it can be clearly said to be True, False, or Undecided.
  • Falsifiability: The claim should be falsifiable. That is, it should be possible to prove it false.
  • Neutral wording: The claim should be worded in a neutral way, without any bias or loaded language.

Check yourself

Before submitting a claim, we recommend asking yourself the following questions:

  • Have I tried to prove myself wrong? Before submitting a claim, try to prove it false. If you can't, it's a good sign that it's a strong claim.

  • Does the wording sound like I have an agenda or a specific outcome in mind? Think about how your post might sound to people who disagree with you. Are you parroting a talking point, or is this a genuine search for truth?

  • If shown new information or evidence, would I be willing to change my mind? This isn't a requirement but if the honest answer is "no", you may be more likely to lose your stake.
