Factual Other

Robust.AI is closed on 2 June 2020 in solidarity with those seeking justice and in memory of George Floyd.

Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.

Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?

Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.

What would count as true or false

True: a Robust.AI record (official tweet, company announcement, or an employee or press account) shows the company closed for the day on 2 June 2020 in solidarity or in memory of George Floyd. Mostly true: the closure happened as described, but a minor detail differs, such as the stated reason being worded differently or the closure being partial (for example, a day of reflection with no work expected). Mostly false: the company marked the occasion some other way (a statement or a moment of silence) without closing, or closed on a different day. False: evidence shows Robust.AI operated normally that day and did not close, or that the announcement was not made by or about Robust.AI.
