Google and Youtube are giving millions of dollars to fact-checking organizations in a global fund aimed at curbing misinformation across the internet.
Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., joined 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss the findings of the watchdog report and Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly mocking Biden and questioning his mental state.
The IFCN previously labeled YouTube as one of the"major conduits" of disinformation and misinformation across the world. In an open letter, the IFCN proposed a partnership with YouTube to curb the issue. The new Global Fact Check Fund is expected to support its network of 135 fact-checking organizations across 65 countries, covering 80 languages. It is the largest grant Google and YouTube have ever shelled out regarding fact-checks.
"Helping people to identify misinformation is a global challenge. The Global Fact Check Fund will help fact-checkers to scale existing operations or launch new ones that elevate information, uplift credible sources and reduce the harm of mis- and disinformation around the globe," Google said in Tuesday’s press release.
Since 2018, the Google News Initiative has invested nearly $75 million to"strengthen media literacy" and"combat misinformation."
