It's controlled by you. Dispute Finder aims to show you articles from sources that you are likely to trust that argue for a different point of view to what you are reading. You decide what kinds of source you trust (by voting), what evidence is available (by adding it), and what should be marked as disputed (by training a classifier).
Everything is open source and controlled by transparent algorithms, so you can look verify that we aren't doing anything to distort it.
DisputeFinder: For those who can't think for themselves, and want others to do their research for them!

If this tool works as intended, it will be priceless when researching facts which are likely to be manipulated by well-funded interest groups.
