Ban the Fake News!
Ban the Fake News! is a platform created with the objective of denying the numerous false news that spread after the earthquake in Puebla on September 19. This innovation created a digital space in which citizens could denounce the false news that discredited and hindered the rescue work. To raise a report, citizens needed to register with their email account or through Facebook. In addition, thanks to the GitHub platform, anyone can collaborate with the programming of the website.
