Information on this result
Taking advantage of the fact that next April 2 will be theInternational fact-checking day, Google made this announcement precisely to combat the misinformation that abounds on the Internet. One of the upcoming changes is the implementation of the feature "Information on this result" in multiple languages. With this, we will see three dots next to each news with which a small window will appear that informs us about the source who wrote this news. In this way, users will be able to verify the veracity of the source, especially if they do not know the website in question.
Perspectives
Another way that Google will implement to fight fake news will be Perspectives. This feature will appear under Top Stories as well it will show the opinions of journalists and relevant experts on the subject that you are looking for. The carousel of Perspectives will launch soon in English in the United States and will be available on desktop and mobile devices, providing users with a variety of trusted and authoritative voices on a wide range of current topics. This way, users will have access to a range of different perspectives that will help them better understand the news and facts around them.
About this author
In addition to these two functions, another tab is also added for know the authors who write in the various publications. “About this author“, as its name indicates, describes the experts who bring information to the palm of our hand. At the moment it will be only available in the United States and will have appearances in new Insights as well as search results.
About this page
The same will happen with “About this page”, with which we can quickly see how the website is described and what other people think about it . Therefore, if we do not know a website, we can easily know its truthfulness with the information of other users. It also remains exclusively for the English language in the USA.
Identify information gaps
To continue with this round of novelties, Google adds a feature that will allow to know which searches are not entirely reliable Now, in Google search we will see alerts when there are information gaps in some aspect of a topic. "How" Google will verify them is not clear at the moment, but it will certainly also take advantage of the its artificial intelligence for fact checking.
