There are many organizations that monitor the web for incorrect posts, including social media platforms themselves, governments, and independent fact-checking organizations. For example, the FBI can monitor public social media postings to detect threats.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) components from ICE to its intelligence arm, the Office of Intelligence & Analysis, also monitor social media — including specific individuals — with the goal of identifying potential threats.

Independent fact-checking organizations such as PolitiFact and FactCheck.org monitor news stories and political statements for accuracy.
