24 Crypto News operates a stringent fact-checking program aimed at combating viral misinformation, particularly unsubstantiated hoaxes. Our fact-checking partners prioritize identifying and addressing provably false claims that are timely, trending, and have significant consequences.
Fact-checkers are empowered to review and rate various forms of public content on 24 Crypto News, including articles, ads, photos, videos, Reels, and text-only posts. Priority is given to claims related to elections, crises, targeted groups, medicine, and financial risks.
However, certain types of content are not subject to fact-checking. This includes celebrity gossip, entertainment, sports news, and misattributed quotes. Additionally, political speeches and opinion pieces are excluded from fact-checking, as they are considered highly scrutinized forms of expression in democratic societies.
Despite this, there are exceptions. Content presented as opinion but based on false information may still undergo fact-checking. Moreover, if a politician shares content previously debunked by fact-checkers, it will be demoted, accompanied by a warning, and rejected from ads.
Regarding opinions containing misinformation, fact-checkers are tasked with discerning between genuine opinion and content masking false information as opinion. Content directly reporting false claims may be eligible for fact-checking, but if it attributes the claim to a third party and questions its veracity, it may be rated as "Missing context."
While 24 Crypto News primarily addresses misinformation through reduced spread and additional context, content violating Community Standards, such as misinformation contributing to violence or interference in elections, will be removed regardless of fact-checker ratings. These policies apply universally and are not subject to exemptions for politicians.
