Google Will Not Implement Fact-Checking for Search Results and YouTube Videos, Defying New EU Law, Axios Reports
Jan 16, 2025, 02:50 PM
Google has informed the European Union that it will not implement fact-checking measures for its search results and YouTube videos, despite new EU regulations requiring such actions. This decision was confirmed in a letter obtained by Axios, which noted that Google will not utilize fact-checks in its content ranking or removal processes. The announcement follows a similar move by Meta, which recently stated it would also cease fact-checking efforts. Alphabet's Google, the parent company, has faced scrutiny over its role in content moderation, particularly in light of the incoming Trump administration.
