It was founded in 2016 by Mehmet Atakan Foça who works as a journalist.[2][3] The website continues its activities under the two corporate structures: Teyit Media Research Association (conducts research on media and social media) and Dubium (carries technology and education development studies)[4]

Teyit.org adopted the principles of the International Fact-Checking Network in 2017.[5]

Teyit.org started a fact-checking program with Facebook in May 2018, aiming to prevent the spread of fake news.[6][7] In 2020, this cooperation was expanded to include news written in Azerbaijani.[8]

In 2021, Sözcü claimed that teyit.org misjudged their news on Facebook.[9] The website is also criticized by Yeni Akit and Takvim newspapers.[10][11]
