## Efforts from Other Countries

### Turn Back Hoax (FAFHH) @ Indonesia

An NGO with 40,000 collaborators doing fact check!

It works in the following way:

1. Posts articles to be fact-checked to Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/fafhh
2. Discussions initiated in facebook group as simple as replying to a post
3. Volunteers summarizes the discussion into an article to post in [Turn Back Hoax website](https://data.turnbackhoax.id/#/result/web/@terbaru).

### Sure and Share Center (Thai)

https://www.facebook.com/SureAndShare
http://www.tnamcot.com/sureandshare/

Operated by MCOT (Thai state-owned public broadcaster), they owns a Facebook fan page, an official website and a LINE@ account. After fact checking, they also publish infographics and mythbusting videos in both their website and their LINE@ timeline.

They use 1-on-1 chats in LINE@ to collect rumors, and uses a custom keyboard app populated with prerecorded responses to respond to the message senders.

We are reaching out to them to see if they are interested in building a bot. If so, we can provide technical support to them.
