How does it work?
CaptainFact is a collaborative fact-checking tool for YouTube videos. People help each others to verify informations in this way:

- Statements are extracted from the video.
- Fact-checkers confirm or refute the statements.
All CaptainFact's extension users will see our verifications directly on YouTube video.
