2 evidence checks from 1 unique source
Last checked: 3/31/2026
The source webpage confirms the core identity and services of the Digital Security Helpline (24/7, free, for journalists/activists/human rights defenders). However, the specific claim about receiving 'more than 4,000 requests for assistance in 2024' is not addressed in the provided source text. The source does not contain any statistics about request volume or numbers served. The additional context about the helpline's launch dates (formally 2013, originally 2009) is also not verified or contradicted by this source. Since the main descriptive elements are confirmed but the quantitative claim is unverifiable from this source, the verdict is 'partial.'
