US Presidential Candidate Vows to Appoint ‘Truth Czar’ for All Online Discourse

A leading candidate has promised to establish a federal office dedicated to verifying every tweet and post, raising concerns about the nation’s new official “like” and “dislike” button for reality.

We’ll fact-check your breakfast caption if we have to,” says campaign.

In a bold move to restore order to the nation’s content chaos, a leading presidential candidate has proposed creating a Truth Czar—a federally funded position tasked with verifying every tweet, status, comment, and interpretive TikTok dance for factual accuracy and tone compliance.

“It’s not censorship,” the candidate assured a group of cautiously nodding influencers. “It’s curated clarity with light emotional guidance.”

Under the proposed plan, a new agency known as the Department of Veracity and Vibes (DVV) would be responsible for issuing factuality grades and emoji recommendations. Social media users would see ratings such as:

• “Mostly True but Annoying”
• “Emotionally False”
• “Technically Accurate, Nobody Cares”

Online creators would be subject to routine audits, and a national ‘Like’ and ‘Dislike’ registry would be created to track sentiment at scale. Critics argue this could lead to social credit systems, while supporters just want to stop their uncle from misquoting Einstein.

“I just want to know if the memes I share are hurting democracy or just my reputation,” said one user, mid-comment deletion.

When asked who would oversee the Truth Czar, the campaign responded, “We’ll cross-reference the horoscope, run a background check, and see how many times they’ve edited a Wikipedia page.”
