US patent 9,015,037 to LinkedIn on fact checking
The first claim states
--
1. A device comprising: a. a memory for storing an application for performing steps of: i. fact checking information by comparing the information with source information to determine factual accuracy of the information; ii. indicating a status of the information based on a result of the comparing of the information with the source information in real-time; iii. receiving a response from a user related to the status of the information; and iv. presenting additional information based on the response; and b. a processor for processing the application.

The specification notes:
--
Information is easily dispersed through the Internet, television and many other outlets. One major problem is that the information dispersed is often not correct. Although there are fact checking websites available online, these websites check facts in a slow manner; typically not truly providing a fact check response for several hours or even days.
