WECANONLYassume that Snopes and
Fact Check are little-known among the
wider population; probably mostShopper
readers have heard of both, but these
fact-checking sites are invaluable in this age
of misinformation, confirmation bias and
online echo chambers. Similarly,it’s always
worth checking your email addresses on Have
IBeen Pwned to check forbreaches and see
if you should updateyourpasswords. If you
then need to speak to aperson at acompany,
use Get Human to find the best phone
numbers to use to avoid automated
switchboards and find the best times to call.
It’s pretty obvious what information the
other sites offer,but take alook at the
EDIS Alert Map when you next have afew
minutes. This maps all the disasters currently
afflicting the world, and the proliferation is
often alarming –halfofthe USAseemed to
be ablaze at the time of writing.
