OP#1

A lot of what goes viral is a screenshot of a post quoting an article that misreads a study. Working backwards to the original source usually tells you more than any fact-check. What tools or habits do you use to find where a claim actually came from?

AI answers are a starting point, not a source. Cite the documents they point you to.
