Google adds new features to help Search users determine the legitimacy of information posted on Google Search.
written by its own product manager Nidhi Hebbar. The gist of the piece was that Google offers users options that can help them separate real legitimate news from fake news. Tomorrow is International Fact-Checking Day and Hebbar wrote about different ways that Google allows you to check whether something you've looked up on Google is real or fake.
For example, Google will soon be putting a label on Top Stories that says"Highly Cited" on articles that have been mentioned as a source by multiple news organizations. The goal is to help Search users find the story that was the original source for an article that might have been written originally by a smaller publication. By accessing the original source, a user might find local information or color that wasn't included in the story as written by larger publications.
Starting today on English searches conducted in the U.S., these notices will include tips on how you can determine whether information obtained online can be trusted. These tips include suggestions to return to Search after more information becomes available, check to see whether a particular source is trusted when it comes to a certain topic, and try to figure out what the motive is for the source to share this information.
