YouTube continues quest to end fake content, tests ‘fact check’ alert feature in India
SAN FRANCISCO: YouTube is testing a fake content monitoring feature in India that pops up a ‘fact check’ alert on searches for sensitive content.
The feature will also highlight additional information on the subject from verified fact-checking partners of the platform.
“These panels will show up on search result pages rather than on individual videos. Even though videos containing misinformation could still appear in the search results, YouTube will generate disclaimers with the intent to inform viewers that the company deals with the spread of misinformation on the platform,” Social Media Today reported on Friday.
