Gizmodo: “It’s getting more and more difficult to know whether or not to believe what you see on the web and on social media, what with misinformation and faked content now churned out on a huge scale, but there are resources that can help you find the truth: Including a tool called Fact Check Explorer that’s maintained by Google. In Google’s words, the tool “gives journalists and fact checkers a deeper way to learn about an image or topic”, and it taps into the fact check markup feature that Google makes available to online publishers. If a reputable website has carried out a fact check on a claim, then the markup feature helps make the fact check more visible to Google. As the name suggests, Fact Check Explorer simply lets you explore all of these fact checks—the fact checks aren’t being carried out or verified by Google, but Google is doing the work of indexing them, and making them more easily accessible through the Fact Check Explorer interface that we’re covering here.”
