Abstract
Brandolini's law states that debunking misinformation consumes more energy than spreading it. With tools that organize, transform and present data we can reduce this amount of energy and provide the tools to apprehend the world in a skeptical way as an alternative to short messages on social-media or re-interpreted news headlines. These tools need to enquire a large base of data and to select heterogeneous sources of information. The main challenge leans in the ability to harvest, aggregate and synthetically present the emerging facts.
