Our.News
Fact-checking platform
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Our.News was a fact-checking platform that provided "nutritional labels" combining automated and user-assigned scores to rate the reliability of news articles.[1] Since July 20, 2023, the website is inactive. The platform was available both as a browser extension for Google Chrome and Firefox, and a mobile app for iOS. The Labels were aimed to combat online misinformation,[2] providing a condensed breakdown of the background ingredients and information that make up any news article. This included info about the publisher, author, editor, third-party fact checks, article sources, AI article classifications, and public opinion ratings.[3][4][5]
