Public trust in truth is declining at an alarming pace. Across continents, societies are experiencing a dangerous shift: Citizens are no longer certain about what is real.

Fabricated claims spread faster than carefully documented evidence. Democracy depends on shared facts. Without them, disagreement becomes hostility, and debate turns into confusion.
