TECH NEWS – With this move, Google is trying to find a new way to fight misinformation or to make it harder to fall into the trap of fake news.

Like many other IT things, the internet can be used for good and bad things. In the case of the internet, for example, there is the dark web, where illegal things are traded, but there is also questionable content ‘on the surface.’ Photoshopped images, misleading information, and the negative impact of all this cannot be joked about and must be said to cause more harm than good cheer. During the pandemic, this could even put people’s lives at risk, and Google is trying to solve this by adding a new feature to Fact Check Explorer.

Launched during the Global Fact 10 conference, the new feature allows you to upload a photo and get an answer as to whether or not the photo you’ve just uploaded has been fact-checked. We will also be able to find out if a manipulated image has been uploaded so that misleading content can be filtered out. “At Google, we support this effort by developing tools and resources to aid people in assessing information online. We’re dedicated to helping people identify misinformation online and supporting fact-checking and those who do it for the long term,” said Avneesh Sud, software engineer at Google Research.

Another new feature will significantly help fact-checkers by providing relevant information and timelines after uploading an image. It will allow them to know how the themes associated with the image have evolved, so they can better understand its background. Google Fact Check Explorer’s new features are still in beta, but the company is working on getting more users in more industries using it. With its Global Fact Check Fund, Google will help 35 fact-checking organizations in 45 countries.

Misleading and false news must be tackled. Primarily when a country’s power is based on it…
