  • Fact Check: 'The Shot' Is NOT Failing -- It Prevents Most Infections And Reduces Symptoms Of Breakthrough Infections

    Fact Check

    Is a meme correct in implying vaccination ("the shot") is not working to prevent COVID-19? No, that's not true: Since it uses an image of a comedian's fictional rapper character, "Ali G," it may be satire.

  • Fact Check: Blocking 'Community Standards' Does NOT Keep A Person Out Of 'Facebook Jail'

    Fact Check

    Do these instructions explaining how to block "community standards" give a Facebook user free rein to violate the platform's community standards without being penalized or going to "Facebook Jail"? No, that's not true: These instructions are a sarcastic joke, a nod to a popular long-running false instructional post that tells people how they can block fact-checkers and never be fact-checked…
