PROOF.

A phone with a facebook post. There's an overlay that says: "45% of this post contains some deceptive content. source 1, source 2, and source 3." There's a dialogue box with a little AI icon and it says "here's what I found about the post..."

A phone showing an app onboarding. It states "What do the icons mean?" Beneath that heading it says "Small hotspots help you quickly identify fake, misleading, factual, and original content." Theres a slider with red, yellow, and green indicators showing how you'll identify fake, misleading, and factual posts on your feed.

A phone with an app landing page. It's a purple gradient with the heading: "See the truth behind every headline." The body text beneath says "regain confidence in scrolling. click to learn more." At the bottom is a button that says "slide to sign up/sign in."
