Google adds fact check feature to search results─── 07:49 Sun, 09 Apr 2017
Google has added its fact check feature to search results globally in a bid to help tackle the spread of "fake news".
BBC reports the search giant will now highlight "authoritative sources" in search results, with a summary of claims that have been fact-checked.
Google says sites will be judged authoritative by an algorithm and the company will not be fact-checking news stories itself.
Earlier this week, Facebook announced a campaign to help people spot fake news.
Google already introduced its fact check feature on its News search site in October, but has now added it to its regular search results.
