Claim: Rappler was shut down by the government because of its lies.
Category: False
Complete details: in its Facebook post, user Filipino Future posted that Rappler was shut down by the government for its lies. It further claims that Rappler itself admitted this on its website that they were indeed shut down.
Why we fact check this: The case against Rappler is with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding its ownership, and not because it supposedly peddles lies on its website. In an attempt to further mislead its readers, Filipino Future even adopted the Facts First format in reporting fake news in showing its post.
