SNOPES MEETS $500K GOAL IN FIGHT TO STAY ONLINE

-

One of the Internet’s most popular and cited fact-checking websites asked for your help to remain online. The response they got was overwhelmi­ng. Snopes.com met their $500,000 fundraisin­g goal Tuesday in the midst of a legal battle in which they accuse a former contractor of holding its site hostage. “We never expected we’d get so close to our goal so quickly,” an update from the Snopes team on their GoFundMe page says. The “Help save Snopes.com!” campaign started Monday and surpassed the half-million-dollar mark about 24 hours later.
