websites with anti-fake sections don't smell reputable to me

edit: i think i'm quibbling over semantics. i'd call it rus-prop or something, but ask 5 interpreters for the same thing interpreted and you'll get 18 different interpretations.

    Can you expand on this? What does "anti-fake" mean to you, what does it mean to them? Is this something a lot of news outlets have? Is this the only one? I've never heard of this and I'm confused.

    See I'm confused by it too. I clicked on the link and there's an anti fake section. Dude says it's Ukrainian gov so I'll give it a grain of salt but I'm not sure.

    The section is more visible on desktop than mobile, that may be the thing

    The articles under the "anti-fake" heading seem to mostly be about illuminating and countering Russian propaganda efforts, Russian disinformation campaigns, Russian media subversion, etc.

    "Anti-fake" is a term that has apparently been applied to official legislative efforts to counter propaganda, disinfo, and media subversion around the world. I hadn't heard the term before, but I'm not seeing anything inherently suspect about it, under the circumstances.

    Maybe it's just an appropriate response to the times.

    Well, aside from the huge "do not pay attention to the man behind the curtain" that this entire article reeks of? freakin daily mail source. I can name no other news service that has it
