Fact-Check Videos on Facebook
Facebook's feed is where miracle cures, too-good-to-be-true investment clips, and AI-generated celebrity endorsements find their most trusting audience. BSmeter gives you a fast second opinion: paste the original YouTube, TikTok, Reel or podcast link behind it and its verifiable claims come back scored 0-100, with evidence sources searched for the weakest one (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium). It's an easy habit to teach the whole family.
What you get
- A second opinion in minutes: Before you trust a health claim or share a shocking video, run it through BSmeter. The AI transcribes the video, extracts its verifiable claims, and returns a scored report in seconds to a couple of minutes.
- Checks the pitch, not the face: Fake celebrity endorsements and fabricated news clips increasingly rely on AI-generated video. BSmeter can't tell you whether a face or voice is real, but it scores what the video claims, and the promises in a scam pitch are claims like any other.
- Health claims, scored like any other: Miracle supplements and one-weird-trick videos thrive on Facebook. BSmeter scores health claims like any other: 0-100, and for the weakest claim (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium), it searches for evidence sources you can read yourself.
- Simple enough for the whole family: No research skills required. Paste a link, read the scores, follow the sources on the weakest claim (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium). It's a practical tool for parents and grandparents who get sent dubious videos every day.
- Fallacies and comment insights: BSmeter flags the logical fallacies doing the persuading and analyzes viewer comments to surface corrections and context the crowd has already spotted.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I fact-check a video I saw on Facebook?
- Find the original: if it's a YouTube video, TikTok, Instagram Reel or podcast, copy that link and paste it into bsmeter.ai, and the AI transcribes it, extracts its verifiable claims, scores each one 0-100, and searches for evidence sources on the weakest one (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium). If the original is on YouTube, TikTok or Instagram, you can also open the Chrome or Firefox extension on it there.
- Doesn't Facebook already fact-check content?
- Meta applies its own platform policies and labeling, with review focused on content its systems and programs select. BSmeter takes a different approach: it analyzes any video you choose, on demand, and explains every score, with evidence sources for the weakest claim (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium). No editor decides which videos are worth checking.
- Can BSmeter spot fake celebrity investment videos?
- BSmeter won't tell you whether a celebrity's face or voice is AI-generated; it doesn't detect deepfakes. What it does is score the spoken claims 0-100 and flag the persuasion tricks, and a fake investment pitch is built on claims (guaranteed returns, a secret platform, a famous backer) you can check. To check the endorsement itself, look for it on the celebrity's official, verified channels. And as a general rule, treat any video promising guaranteed returns with extreme caution.
- Is there a free Facebook video fact checker?
- Yes. BSmeter's free tier includes three analyses per day. Basic ($3.99/mo) covers 15 analyses per day, and Premium ($8.99/mo) handles videos up to 2 hours. Both paid plans are month-to-month — cancel anytime.
