Spreading Awareness
The .org domain name doesn't always mean that something is credible. Here are several examples of .org websites that you probably shouldn't be relying upon for your information.
The purpose of this list is to showcase just how widely use the the .org domain name really is. While in many cases, the .org domain name is actually being used by a genuinely credible organization, there are also many instances where the .org website truly wouldn't stand muster as a credible source. Of course, this list is by no means exhaustive. If you find any other notable examples of .org websites that aren't exactly the most credible sources, feel free to reach out to me via email so I can update this list.
