The idea is to evaluate a text (e.g., a Tweet) and to provide references pointing to an official source (e.g., official statistics from the German federal government). Since automatic fact checking proves to be hard and a slippery affair, the stats servant is supposed to make it easy for humans to spot and counter disinformation. By delivering official statistics in reference to allegations made on social media, we build a little helper to sober debate on the internet. Starting small with statistics for a narrowly defined subject area it would be nice to branch out to areas populists usually exploit.
