Slate Created a Chrome Extension to Stop the Spread of Fake News
It's called "This Is Fake"
Slate has introduced a new tool that allows users to participate in the battle against fake news. It’s called This Is Fake, and it’s a Chrome extension that flags debunked stories users may come across as they travel the internet’s many worm and rabbit holes.
The flagged posts are accompanied by a link to a legitimate source from the fact-based news world that debunks the story in question. Users are being encouraged to post those links as comments wherever they encounter fake news stories, such as in their Facebook feeds.
