We collaborate with all the fact checkers. We actually have a separate product for defense ministries and intelligence agencies, which is we call our Misinformation Fingerprints, which was created at the request of a unit of the US Pentagon and a request by In-Q-Tel, the US intelligence venture firm. This is a constantly updated catalog of all of the top current hoaxes and misinformation in a machine readable format. Cyber Command in the US, for example, has used the Misinformation Fingerpirnts to trace Russian and Chinese misinformation and to identify all examples of this misinformation anywhere it exists on the Internet. This allows analysts to understand the nature of the misinformation, including its provenance–the origin of the misinformation–and who is sharing it to give the misinformation wide reach such as through social media.
