To tackle misinformation, or so-called fake news, the YouTube CEO, on Thursday said the company has worked to reduce borderline content and raise up authoritative voices and publishers
"The most important thing is raising authoritative voices and authoritative publishers when there's important news events," Susan Wojcicki told the World Economic Forum in Switzerland.
"The most important thing is raising authoritative voices and authoritative publishers when there's important news events," she told a session on the weaponization of the Internet at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Wojcicki instead argued context is important in tackling video content that, for example, argues the Earth is flat or the moon landing never occurred. "We'll have a link indicating this is when the Apollo moon landing happened, and is actually right there in the video. That's a way to strike a balance to ensure we're giving authoritative information so users will know what really happened," she said.
