巴西事實查核計劃調整策略打擊錯誤資訊，放棄標籤，專注於來源與手法

“Before, articles would say: ‘It’s false that such and such happened.’ Not anymore. We have to think of a much more indirect headline, in a way, because we understand that this [false] label can alienate the very audience that fell for these pieces [of misinformation],” Braz told LJR. “This whole idea of telling the truth first, of not constantly using ‘false,’ or ‘misleading,’ or ‘not,’ really changes our mindset when it comes to writing.”
