Stories it has debunked include fake videos claiming to depict Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, myths that the 2013 supermoon appeared bigger than it really did, and a "Simon Ashton" hoax claiming that emails from Simon Ashton should not be opened because doing so will lead to your computer being hacked.
