The website Slay News is a prolific publisher of inaccurate and misleading information on topics ranging from health to climate to politics. Although the website claims to be based in the U.S., it is in fact registered in the United Kingdom. A Science Feedback investigation shows that Slay News has associations with Paul Roughsedge and Stephen Anthony McQueen, the founders of One Fox Digital, a UK-based IT consultancy. The same company also operated Neon Nettle, another website known for publishing false information and conspiracy theories.

Our investigation also sheds light on other anonymously-run websites linked to Slay News, bringing to light a hidden network of websites and social media accounts that appears to have been, to the best of our knowledge, unrecognized until now.
