Tell us about the situation you're not sure how to respond to.
Paste a draft statement, post, or press release. We'll check it for anything that could amplify the harm you're responding to, claims that need a source, and places to build in prebunking — without changing your organization's position.

This tool helps your organization get ahead of misleading content about a crisis or major event — an election dispute, a disaster, a disease outbreak, an act of violence. It doesn't just say whether a claim is true. It shows how a post tries to persuade people, so you can warn your community before they fall for it. That approach is called prebunking (see "Learn more").
A crisis is any major event that misleading content tends to gather around — not only violence. The tool covers 11 kinds:
Prebunking (or attitudinal inoculation) works like a vaccine against manipulation and disinformation. Hateful and manipulative narratives evolve fast, often drifting from the fringes of the internet into mainstream feeds within days. By the time a narrative has spread, the damage is largely done. Prebunking works upstream of this exposure.
Instead of arguing against a false or manipulative narrative, prebunking exposes people to a clearly-labeled, weakened dose of the manipulation tactic beforehand, so they recognize it and are able to resist it when they encounter it in other contexts. Because it targets the techniques rather than a specific belief, it is a nonpartisan approach and can work across ideological lines and substantive topics.
