“How do you know when a website is lying? It ends in dot gov”

United States government websites end in “.gov,” and many people do not have faith in the federal government. An image was posted on Twitter by hackerbot.eth on February 6, 2021:

“How do you know when a website is lying? It ends in dot gov.”

“How can you tell when a politician is lying? His lips are moving!” is a related saying.

How do you know that a website is lying?
