Crusaders in the fight against fake photos online

The flood of fake news and information online is scary. From lying clickbait to bogus material shared via social media, the problem has become almost overwhelming.
Thankfully the problem has created a cottage industry in websites to debunk false information.
I’ve called attention to the problem of misleading and erroneous photos used with clickbait, but there are other websites tackling the spread of phony pictures and misidentified photos on social media.
HoaxEye identifies fake photos distributed online. HoaxEye is a project of product security professional Janne Ahlberg of Finland. HoaxEye has a Twitter page and Facebook page. HoaxEye also has a website.
Hoax of Fame has created a database of internet photo hoaxes. It is a project of journalist Nicolas Filio of Paris. Hoax of Fame has a Twitter page and a Tumblr website.
PicPedant is a Twitter feed that exposes Photoshopped fakes, misidentified pictures and photos appropriated without attribution. PicPedant is a project of by Paulo Ordoveza of Washington, D.C.
Historical celebrity photo website This Is Not Porn has a section titled Debunking Fake Celebrity Photos. The site is run by Patrik Karlsson of rural Sweden.
