Das russische Global Fact-Checking Network (GFCN) behauptet, es prüfe Fakten, doch in Wirklichkeit dient diese Website, die von Kreml-nahen Organisationen erstellt und betrieben wird, dazu, die Darstellung der russischen Regierung international zu verbreiten. Reporter ohne Grenzen (RSF) verurteilt dieses neue Instrument der russischen Propaganda (via rbfirehose.com und rsf.org):
“Launched in November 2024 with an active website since April 2025, the GFCN claims to “coordinate efforts to combat misinformation by participants from different countries at the global level.” In reality, it is a propaganda vehicle founded and managed by Kremlin-linked structures: Dialog Regions, the New Media School — a federal training program for members of the Russian media — and the state news agency TASS. Promoted by the Russian Foreign Ministry, the GFCN poses as an alternative to independent international organisations like the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN).”
