GitHub - andrewblaney/farfetchd: 🐦 Chrome extension for fact checking tweetsGitHub

What is it?

It's a Chrome extension that will highlight claims in a tweet.

Why did we develop this?

We wanted people to think twice before consuming Tweets. Fact checking is a relatively new technology that will make it easier to spot claims made by people you follow.

Where do you see this going?

Integrating with Full Fact once the API is available!
