Everybody lies,a little bit.
Polygraph gives you the fact-fighting superpowers to stop it
The problem
We are at war with bad information.
Low information
People repeating what they never looked up.
Misinformation
False things, spread by people who believe them.
Disinformation
Campaigns, coordinated, pushed through networks on purpose.
All three land on the same people: the ones with the least time to check. And all three are growing.
Your typical post
You’ve seen a post like this a million times.
It looks harmless enough at first. Look closer, and you start to see what it is doing.
Flock cameras tracking your every move.
CBDC—coming soon.
Warrantless spying via FISA.
Kill Switches in cars starting in 2027.
Our Founding Fathers would be disgusted by the surveillance state operating in America today.

The fix
Fighting back is easier than you think.
Counter the facts.
Answer what the post says. One claim, or all of them.
@RepKeithSelf · Flock cameras tracking your every move.The U.S. is not building a digital dollar. The law now prohibits one. There is no 2027 “kill switch” mandate for cars.
Counter the technique.
Answer how the post works on you. Once a move has a name, it stops working.
@RepKeithSelf · Flock cameras tracking your every move.The Founders are not evidence. Invoking them asks for outrage and gives you nothing to check.
Counter both.
Every claim answered, and the technique named.
@RepKeithSelf · Flock cameras tracking your every move.Flock cameras do store plate data. That part is true. But the U.S. is not building a digital dollar, and there is no 2027 kill-switch mandate. Section 702 targets foreigners abroad, though Americans’ messages get swept in. A fast list and the Founders’ name don’t make it proof: half of it doesn’t hold up.
Three ways in, out of many. Polygraph hands you the verdicts, the sources and the names. What you say with them is yours.
The verdicts and the frame are real Polygraph reads of this post. Prototype: the score is a draft formula, the techniques are trial reads, and the replies are drafts.
What Polygraph finds
Six things, in every post.
A post isn’t true or false. Its claims are.
Each checkable claim is pulled out and checked on its own.
True, false, mixed. Or we can’t tell.
Four verdicts, each with its confidence and the findings that led to it. “We can’t tell” is an answer, and often the most useful one.
Sources you can defend in the room.
Every source is rated for factuality and lean. Government records and the most reliable outlets count for more.
How the post is built to persuade.
Blame without evidence, borrowed authority, a true fact carrying three false ones. Polygraph names the technique, so you can too.
because of the new administration. Nobody is talking about it.
The claim that keeps coming back.
The same claim in a new mouth is matched to the one already checked, so you see a claim’s history and how far it has travelled.
What to say back.
A short reply written from the verdicts and the sources, ready to post under the original or send to whoever shared it.
Who it’s for
For anyone who has to be right before they repeat it.
