Can FYProof spot it?

A check doesn't look for this one. What a check finds is an estimate, not a guarantee.

  • Video: not for this rule
  • Speech: not for this rule
  • On-screen text: not for this rule
  • Caption: not for this rule
  • Hashtags: not for this rule

Part of this rule depends on your account or on what happens after you post, which a check before posting can't see.
