Fake news loves a crisis. It's clear now that false information has played a role in recent events around the world from divisive elections to the COVID pandemic to the conflict roiling Israel and Gaza.
On numbers alone, the picture is more complex than was presented. Africa Check, the first fact-checking organization in Africa, has grown from a team of two in 2012 to a staff of 40 with offices in four countries today. The same is true of Maldita - Spain's first fact-checking operation - which started as a Twitter account run by two TV journalists and today has a staff of more than 50.
