🍁Media Verification
Gander is designed to combat misinformation by providing real-time context for external links. When you share a news article or website, the "Truth Transponder" automatically pulls data to help the flock assess the signal quality. When you post a link this way, the system checks the source against mediafactcheck.com.
The Link Preview
When you paste a URL (like https://cbc.ca) into a new Honk, Gander generates a smart preview card with two critical verification markers:
- Bias Rating: A visual indicator of the source's political leanings (e.g., CENTER-LEFT). This helps the flock understand the likely perspective of the coverage.
- Factuality Score: A rating of the source's track record for accuracy (e.g., HIGH FACTUALITY).
How to deploy a verified link
- Paste the URL: Enter the web address directly into the post composer.
- Activate the Preview: Tap the (+) icon next to the URL input field to generate the verification card.
- Review the Intel: Before hitting Post, check the bias and factuality markers to ensure you are sharing a high-quality signal.
- Add Context: You can still add your own text and hashtags (like #News) above the link to provide your tactical perspective.
