Stand up for the facts! Our only agenda is to publish the truth so you can be an informed participant in democracy. We need your help. More Info I would like to contribute No, Trump’s rally wasn’t canceled because of poor attendance If Your Time is short A recent “pro-Trump rally” in Washington, D.C., was organized by supporters, not Trump, and was scantly attended. But it wasn’t canceled.  Former President Donald Trump is known to brag about and sometimes inflate the number of people in the crowd at his rallies. News photos show big crowds at recent-days rallies in Arizona and Nevada. But two recent Facebook posts swing in the opposite direction, claiming that his supporters abandoned him at an event. "Trump rally just got shut down after no one shows up," read one Facebook post from Oct. 8.  The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed.  » Read More

People in the country are waking up this morning to find their (and their pages', for many) follower counts mysteriously slashed to half or less. Even Mark Zuckerberg's own follower count has dropped from nearly 100 million to a mere 9,993 overnight. Many are suspecting a bug in the platform. Earlier this week, the sudden drops in Facebook follower counts of several of the USA's largest media outlets experienced on Monday and Tuesday led to rumours that the social media giant might be deleting fake or bot accounts. According to data from analytics platform CrowdTangle, the New York Times, Washington Post, Huffington Post, The Hill, USA Today, New York Post, and Newsweek all saw a decline in followers on October 3 and 4.  » Read More

There is no known cure for herpes, but an Instagram post claims that's not the case and that a parasite cleanse can do the trick.  "Parasite cleanses" are widely shared on social media, and posts touting the cleanses claim without proof that many health issues, both real and imaginary, stem from parasitic infections.  One Sept. 28 Instagram post claims that parasite cleanses "kill herpes by starving the parasites in the stomach," and the caption points viewers to a website selling the cleanses and other homeopathic treatments. The video was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram.) The video’s claims are rooted in pseudoscience. A parasitic diseases expert told PolitiFact the cleanses are ineffective and can harm a person’s health.  What are parasites? Parasites are organisms of varying sizes that can infect people and cause disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  » Read More

Here's an interesting wrinkle on the unveiling of the new Facebook data center in Prineville, Oregon. In announcing the facility, Facebook emphasized its energy efficiency and use of renewable power resources. Cheap, green hydro power was a major attraction when Google built a data center in Oregon, so it was assumed that the Facebook data center would be supported primarily by hydro power from the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). Not so, according to Matt Stansberry from SearchDataCenter. Matt, an Oregon resident, took a closer look at the utility power that will support Facebook.   "Pacific Power, a utility owned by PacifiCorp, will provide the electricity" in Prineville, Matt writes. "While Pacific Power gets some hydropower from BPA, its primary power-generation fuel is coal, according to Jason Carr, the manager of the Prineville office of economic development for Central Oregon." It turns out the BPA will soon be implementing a tiered pricing system in which new customers will pay a higher rate to offset the costs of non-hydro generation the BPA will purchase to meet growing demand.  » Read More
