Fact Checking on the web: here is Google’s Fact Check Explorer tool

In an age where the web and social media are saturated with information, distinguishing between fact and fiction can be a daunting challenge.

Fake news and manipulated content are produced on a large scale, making it increasingly difficult to discern the truth.

Fortunately, there are tools that can help us, including Google’s Fact Check Explorer , a valuable resource for journalists and fact checkers.

Google’s Fact Check Explorer tool offers a more in-depth approach to analyzing images or topics.

Google Fact Check Tools uses a feature called “ fact checking markup ,” made available by Google to online publishers. This feature allows you to increase the visibility of truthfulness checks carried out by reliable websites. If a trusted site has verified a certain claim, the markup helps make that verification more visible to Google.

As the name suggests, Fact Check Explorer allows you to explore a wide range of these truth checks.

It is important to underline that these checks are not conducted or validated directly by Google ; rather, Google takes care of indexing them, making them more easily accessible through the Fact Check Explorer interface. Those interested in finding out how verifications can be labeled and recognized by Google can consult the complete documentation provided by the company.

Google does not accept verification of veracity from any source . In fact, websites must first be verified and deemed reliable, a process partly determined by Google’s algorithms. In conclusion, Fact Check Explorer presents itself as a crucial tool in our incessant search for the truth, offering concrete help in navigating the sea of ​​online information.
