The present invention enables people to propose campaigns for crowd-source funding intended to label some public claim as bogus or to label some public claim that's being widely denied as true. A fee and several inputs are required to submit the proposed campaign application for vetting, review, editing and approval. Approved campaigns are published on a website so people can find them and contribute to them. A cash bounty is offered as a reward to any challenger who can refute (falsify) the campaign message. A fee and several inputs are required to submit a challenge for evaluation and decision. Challenges are processed sequentially until one is sustained (upheld as proving the campaign position is wrong), or until the campaign duration expires. When a challenge is sustained, the bounty is paid to the challenger, other pending challenges are closed and their fees are returned, and the campaign ends as 'falsified' ('unsuccessful'). When the campaign duration expires without a sustained challenge, the campaign ends as 'successful' and a monetary reward is paid to the campaign creator and the remainder of the unspent bounty is returned to the sponsors in proportion to their contributions to the campaign fund. Sponsors can provide comments and evidence to augment the campaign materials.
