903 - The Future of Fact Checking ft. Lyric Jain

This episode we are joined by the Founder and CEO of “Logically,” Lyric Jain! We don our interviewer hats to talk about the fascinating (and important) work Lyric and his team are doing, with the help of A.I., to combat fake news and its spread. We also talk about Logically’s successful efforts to reveal the man behind Qmap, a formerly pivotal site for spreading the Qanon conspiracies, and the subsequent fallout. All of this and more on this week’s Rumor Flies!
