Join the Appen team as an Independent Contractor for Project Uolo-P.

How We Do It: - Check the Facts: We want you to compare what's said in social media posts with reliable information to see if it's true. - Keep Up with What's Happening: - Use Trending Maps: Check maps that show what's popular to guide your searches. - Watch for Repeat Liars: Find and keep an eye on people or places that often share fake stuff. - Try Different Ways: Look at other sources and try different methods to find out what's not true. - What We're Looking For: For a post to be worth checking, it must: - Come from Facebook or Instagram and be recent (within the last 7 or 14 days). - Be about something that could seriously fool people, not just little mistakes. - Not be just someone's opinion, a joke, or a fight between businesses. What You Need to Show: - Make sure it doesn't have any made-up info, missing details, or fake pictures. - Check it's from the last week or two and has at least 15 shares or comments (or 100 views if it's a video). - Make sure you haven't sent us the same thing before. - Share the link to the post. - Give us a link to proof, like a fact-checking site. - Summarize what the post is saying and how you checked it. How to Find Stuff to Check: - Use Google to find out what people are talking about. - Look at the news on Google to see what's going on. - Try different searches and look for what's popular. - Check social media for pages that often share things that aren't true, especially if they're talking about hot topics.
