The Mathematics of Misinformation
Every minute, 500 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube. That’s 720,000 hours per day. Meanwhile, professional fact-checkers can review maybe 10-20 claims per day. The math simply doesn’t work. Traditional automated tools only analyze text, missing on-screen graphics, visual demonstrations, and “white coat” authority signals. VerityNgn (Verity Engine) is an open-source system that doesn’t just read transcripts—it watches, listens, and verifies the truth.What is VerityNgn?
