We think that if we want to prevent or lower the spread of conspiracies and rumors, we must provide people with the truth and solid information. How are we planning to do it? We believe that people will believe everything that you say to them if it sounds believable and you present something they can relate to. We want to change that.

Our solution is to build a website/app which will show known rumors and provide the information to stop them from spreading. The information will be taken from known and proven sources like doctors, people that have studied the spoken areas for years and we can listen to them. Then, people will be able to tell the difference between bad information and good information while it will also be able to stop spreading some of the rumors.
