Google and YouTube are pouring millions into over 100 fact-checking organizations as part of a new Global Fact Check Fund aimed at stomping out misinformation online.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Google and YouTube announced a $13.2 million grant to the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) at the left-leaning nonprofit Poynter Institute.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The fund is expected to open early next year alongside a YouTube training series for fact-checking organizations that want to learn more about “content strategy and engagement” on the platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“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\u2019s press release.<\/p>\n

Google also noted that fact-checking organizations can use their new funding in a variety of ways, including new technologies, the creation or expansion of their digital footprints, new verification tools, and deeper audience engagement through audio, video or podcast formats.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the day of the announcement, Google, YouTube, the European University Institute, and Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation convened European policymakers, media organizations, tech companies and NGOs to share knowledge on tackling misinformation.<\/p>\n

Since 2018, the Google News Initiative has invested nearly $75 million to “strengthen media literacy” and “combat misinformation.”<\/p>\n

The Poynter Institute, a nonprofit school for journalists, is the parent company of PolitiFact, which claims it is a “nonpartisan fact-checking website.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last May, PolitiFact\u00a0hosted a virtual festival,<\/a>\u00a0“United Facts of America: A Festival of Fact-Checking,” which was billed as a “celebration of fact-checking featuring some of the most important voices in media, health care, politics and technology.” The event largely consisted of left-leaning voices, including former CNN host Brian Stelter, CNN Chief International Anchor Christiane Amanpour, MSNBC contributor Charlie Sykes, and Virginia Democratic Senator Mark Warner. Dr. Anthony Fauci was also featured.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the event, PolitiFact editor-in-chief Angie Holan saluted billionaire Democratic donor Craig Newmark, the founder of Craigslist and major provider of financial support for the “neutral” fact-checking website. Newmark supported President Biden’s 2020 election campaign and has backed a host of other Democratic candidates and causes over the years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In November, Craig Newmark Philanthropies gave over $3 million to the Aspen Institute to set up the Commission on Information Disorder, a board that helps users discern “fact from falsehood” and “the trustworthy from the fringe.” A report from the commission focused on “information disorder” was co-authored by left-leaning journalist Katie Couric<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Several members of the Aspen Institute spoke at the summit in Brussels on misinformation, including Yasmin Green, the CEO of Jigsaw, a unit within Google that “explores threats to open societies.”<\/p>\n

The team researches and develops “technical solutions” to “violent extremism,” “repressive censorship” and “hate and harassment,” as well as “harmful misinformation.”<\/p>\n

Jigsaw recently deployed a “series of prebunking videos”<\/a> as a tactic to “counter anti-refugee narratives” across Europe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
