In July 2024, Snopes introduced "FactBot," an "artificial intelligence (AI) tool to fact-check your burning questions about online rumors."
In 2021, we wrote about an example of Snopes attempting to fact-check a subjective claim about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
While the 2024 presidential election dominated American news headlines in 2024, a lot more than just politics captured Snopes readers' attention.
Based on our site's traffic analytics, more people read fact checks about sports stars like Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Brittney Griner and Aaron Rodgers than any others. Readers also gravitated to pages about high-profile celebrities such as Sean "Diddy" Combs and Elon Musk, as well as rumors about a giant sea creature and musicians' concert tours.
Compared to all rumors we fact-checked in 2024, the 10 fact checks below attracted the most readers, ranked from highest to lowest since January. Snopes' archives contributed to this report.
