Google will start fact checking images too – Quick wrap


Starting today, Google will start applying fact check information to Google Images globally to help people “make more informed judgments” about what they see on the Web.

Announcing this on its official blog, Google said this will be in addition to the fact check features in Search & News.

So now when you search on Google Images, you may see a “Fact Check” label under the thumbnail image results. When you tap one of these results to view the image in a larger format, you’ll see a summary of the fact check that appears on the underlying Web page. These labels may appear both for fact check articles about specific images & for fact check articles that include an image in the story.
