Centre for Effective Altruism — Founder (text): Toby Ord

Verdictcontradicted95%
1 check · 4/13/2026

The claim states that Toby Ord is the founder of the Centre for Effective Altruism. However, the Wikidata source clearly lists TWO founders: William MacAskill (listed first) and Toby Ord (listed second). While Toby Ord is indeed listed as a founder, the claim's phrasing 'Founder (text) = Toby Ord' suggests he is THE founder (singular), when in fact William MacAskill is equally listed as a co-founder. The source contradicts the singular attribution by showing multiple founders. This is a direct contradiction of the claim's implication that Toby Ord alone is the founder.
