Funded by / Ownership
Fact Check Cyprus operates as a non-profit, volunteer-driven initiative. The organization states that its work is conducted without remuneration or personal financial gain, driven by a commitment to science, truth, and public education.

No commercial advertising or political sponsorship is disclosed on the site, and funding appears to rely on institutional support and volunteer contributions rather than revenue generation.
Analysis / Bias
Fact Check Cyprus publishes detailed, claim-by-claim analyses that rely heavily on peer-reviewed research, official regulatory data, and primary scientific sources. For example, in No, Pfizer’s modRNA flu vaccine study was not a “complete failure”, the outlet systematically addresses each allegation using data from clinical trial registries, regulatory frameworks, and the New England Journal of Medicine. The article distinguishes between numerical accuracy and clinical significance, demonstrating methodological rigor rather than advocacy.
Similarly, the article “Ivermectin and fenbendazole do NOT cure cancer” evaluates viral claims by citing regulatory approvals and the lack of human clinical evidence, while clearly explaining the distinction between laboratory findings and real-world medical applications. The tone remains explanatory and corrective, avoiding political framing.
In Conspiracy claim about the role and usefulness of the QR code, the outlet debunks symbolic and conspiratorial claims using technical standards, historical documentation, and engineering explanations. Across its content, Fact Check Cyprus avoids ideological language, focuses on verifiable claims, and applies consistent evidentiary standards regardless of topic, indicating minimal bias.
