A team dedicated to uncovering the truth
Disinformation does not announce itself. It arrives disguised as breaking news, as a friend's forwarded message, as a video that looks too real to question. PublicProof exists to pull back that disguise. We are investigators first—our job is to examine claims with forensic precision, trace them to their source, and determine what holds up under scrutiny.
Every investigation at PublicProof follows a structured process: identify the claim, locate the earliest traceable source, gather and cross-reference evidence, and publish a transparent verdict with full documentation. We combine open-source intelligence, digital forensics, media authentication, and data analysis to build cases that are as airtight as we can make them.
When a claim has already been investigated by other credible organizations, we do not duplicate the work—we reference it. Our reporting cites and links to the original analysis, crediting the source. We only aggregate findings from certified, reputable, and legitimate verification organizations, such as Snopes, The Evidence Dispatch, FactCheck.org, Veredicto, Lead Stories, and Maldita.es.
The disinformation that concerns us most is not the kind that makes headlines—it is the kind that does not. Hyper-local rumors, niche community claims, narratives spreading in closed groups and private channels: these are the stories that demand specialized attention and rarely receive it. PublicProof was built to fill that gap. We go where the mainstream does not, applying the same rigorous standards to every investigation regardless of its scale or visibility.
