Before “Matze was removed from the company in early February 2021 and sued Parler and Mercer the following month”
After “Matze was removed from the company on January 29, 2021, and sued Parler and Mercer in March 2021, alleging he had been forced out and stripped of his stake; the parties disputed the circumstances of his departure.”
Why it was flagged
Public reporting indicates John Matze was ousted from Parler on January 29, 2021, not 'early February 2021.' The lawsuit was filed March 22, 2021, roughly two months later, not 'the following month.'
What was done
Verified against Wikipedia's Parler article, which confirms Matze was terminated by the board on January 29, 2021, and filed suit on March 22, 2021. Corrected the date and removed the inaccurate 'the following month' framing.

“Rebekah Mercer attended Cornell University before transferring to Stanford University, where she studied biology and mathematics. In 1999 she completed a master's degree in management science and engineering at Stanford.”
Why it was flagged
This specific educational history (Cornell transfer to Stanford, biology/mathematics undergraduate study, and a 1999 master's in management science and engineering) is not corroborated by well-known public biographical accounts of Rebekah Mercer and appears to be a fabricated or unverifiable replacement for the previously-flagged incorrect claim.
Why it was dismissed
Verified against Rebekah Mercer's English Wikipedia article (linked in wikipediaUrl), which states verbatim: 'Mercer enrolled at Cornell University and later transferred to Stanford University, where she studied biology and mathematics. In 1999, she earned her master's degree in management science and engineering.' The file text matches this source exactly.

“prompting congressional testimony and regulatory investigations in multiple countries. The Mercers' investment in Cambridge Analytica represented an early bet on using large-scale data analytics for political campaign strategy.”
Why it was flagged
The Cambridge Analytica scandal is widely reported to have involved data harvested from approximately 87 million Facebook users, but this file uses the vaguer phrasing 'tens of millions'.
Why it was dismissed
'Tens of millions' is an accurate, if less precise, description of the widely-reported ~87 million figure; not a factual error and not worth a rewrite for a low-severity precision note.

“She was the platform's principal financial backer and held majority ownership”
Why it was flagged
The exact percentage of Rebekah Mercer's ownership stake in Parler has not been definitively confirmed in public reporting; asserting 'majority ownership' may be more precise than sources support.
Why it was dismissed
Verified against Rebekah Mercer's Wikipedia article, which states: 'As of early February 2021, Mercer holds the majority shares and, The Washington Post reported 'increasingly pulls the strings' at Parler, controlling two-thirds of its board.' The claim is directly supported by the cited source.
