About this course
This chapter is about the pause that happens right before you post, forward, or repeat something as fact. It breaks misinformation down into three simple tricks it is almost always built from, and lays out four quick habits that catch most of it within minutes. It also looks at what makes one piece of evidence stronger than another. The chapter closes with the story of a software engineer with no journalism training, who built one of India's most trusted fact-checking organisations using nothing but these same habits, applied consistently.
