I went through the code and it doesn't look like it does anything as described, only checks images. I'm afraid this is fake news. Good effort, though.

It seems like most of the work is in backend/imageverify.py and the standard of truth there is whether an address has a high enough MyWOT score.

yeah it's hard to claim that it assesses "the truth". I am doing a research project in this exact field and we believe this to be a semi-hard AI problem with very little chance of being approximable.
