YouTube fact checks suspicious searches

One of the biggest problems in the online world today is the widespread fake news. This is most common on social media platforms and even YouTube wasn’t spared. While the threat is existent, each platform has the responsibility to assist users to differentiate which is real or not.

YouTube addressed this issue with a new notification system that pops up fact checks when people perform searches using flagged terms. For example, you’re searching whether or not a certain drug is safe. Unaware of online hoax related to that drug, in your search results, an “information panel” will appear giving the user helpful information.

YouTube will source the information for fact checks from several trusted sources including Wikipedia. Facebook is also said to adapt the said feature, but Google has officially announced yet when will it officially roll out.
