How it spreads
We follow a rumor from a single forum, to Reddit and X, to actual news — and how fast it moves. A rumor can start anywhere; we track where it really shows up.
Fakes get marked down
Spam, bot swarms and copy-paste pumps lower a rumor's score, so a fake-looking surge ranks low instead of looking urgent.
Becoming news
When a real outlet reports the same thing, we link to it — but the rumor itself stays a rumor.
