Source? prove it says who? that's just your opinion no cap? I read it somewhere fake news [citation needed] link? why should I believe you? citation or it's cap source: vibes do your own research

peer reviewed? big if true where'd you read that? sounds fake you got a reference for that? trust me bro pics or it didn't happen who funded that? everyone knows that an AI told me press X to doubt I saw a study once my uncle said so

The problem: the internet runs on unproven claims.

Most of what you read is asserted, not sourced. AI made it faster to assert and no easier to check.

the evidence backs this

Recorded sources

3 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that fact-checking organizations cannot keep pace with the volume of claims published online?

Yes. Evidence consistently shows that traditional, manual fact-checking organizations struggle and ultimately fail to keep pace with the sheer volume of claims published online, motivating the development of automated computational tools.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 3 sources for, 0 against · Last checked 28 Jul 2026

The analysis

The claim that fact-checking organizations cannot keep pace with the volume of online claims is widely supported in the literature, notably by older foundational work (e.g., Ciampaglia et al., 2015) as well as recent automated fact-checking studies (e.g., Hu et al., 2026; Chen et al., 2025) emphasizing the need for AI solutions due to human scalability limits. There are no papers refuting this widely acknowledged constraint.

Before you ask: fair questions.

What's the difference between a citation and a receipt?

A citation identifies a source using available bibliographic details. A receipt presents a recorded claim outcome, evidence and limitations. It does not guarantee a settled answer, a confidence score or support from every cited source.

Who is this actually for?

Someone mid-argument who knows they read it somewhere and needs the source in ten seconds. Paste a claim in the popup or use a deliberate page selection.

What does it work on?

Paste a claim in the extension popup, or deliberately check a selection on supported pages using right-click or your configured shortcut. Direct editing in Google Docs and other rich-text editors is not universally supported; use paste.

Can I use this inside my own product?

The Trust API accepts one claim per request and returns recorded result fields and available sources. Confidence may be unavailable, and checks may produce public receipts. Do not submit confidential or personal information. Read the API page for authentication, limits, current prices and response handling.

Is it free?

Five checks a month are free, receipts and share links included, no card. Bro is $9.99 a month for 400 checks and 100 API calls; Pro is $29.99 for 1,000 of each. Annual is twelve months for the price of ten.
