00:07W tymczasem, jak się stałabym od massza online informacją,
00:10większość informacją od fact-checking.
00:13W tymczasem, które są zainteresowane w tradicji newsrooms,
00:17w tymczasem, które są zainteresowane entities.
00:19Ale to, co się dzieje, kiedy fact-checking websites
00:21zostaną pomocą używacją popularną propagandą?
00:24W tymczasem, w tymczasem, w tymczasem,
00:26Global Fact-Checking Network,
00:28which started posting articles in April 2025.
00:31Although it may seem like a legitimate fact-checking website,
00:34in reality it is a Kremlin-backed disinformation tool.
00:38The organization's name is very similar
00:40to the established International Fact-Checking Network,
00:42which is a reputable consortium of international fact-checkers.
00:46This is unlikely to be a coincidence.
00:48The co-founders of the outlet include
00:50Russian state news agency TASS,
00:52as well as Anno Dialog,
00:54which is under sanctions from the US and EU.
00:57The Kremlin's spokesperson for foreign affairs, Maria Zakharova,
01:00has said the platform's aim is to fight what she called fake stories,
01:04as well as disinformation promoted by the West and biased fact-checkers.
01:08The Global Fact-Checking Network's website is available in English and Russian,
01:11listing a range of experts and participants who contribute to its fact-checking work.
01:16While the outlet is still relatively new,
01:18established fact-checking organizations have flagged factual mistakes
01:21and pro-Russian narratives in the outlet's articles.
01:25Many of the platform's contributors are known Russian propagandists,
01:29who have also worked for Kremlin state-aligned outlets.
01:32For instance, one of its contributors is the African Initiative,
01:35which presents itself as a Russian news agency
01:38which covers events on the African continent.
01:40In reality, it has been classified as the main vehicle
01:42for Russia's disinformation activities in Africa
01:45by France's Agency for Foreign Digital Interference, Vignium.
