Google's solution

This was brought up when candidates from the presidential election in 2016 had a ton of fake news. This fake news had many rumors on each one of the candidates. Google doesn't want their users to be mislead.

As a possible solution Google's is unveiling a new fact checking tool. The tool will be in the search engine. It's designed to fight the spread of fake news. You can't trust all news because it may be fake. some people make fake news to trick people with lies. The fact checking tool will prevent this.

Will it work?

People ask how does this work? Well there are 115 fact checking organizations that will provide an accuracy assessment for questionable articles. But each organization might have a different opinion on the questionable articles. Google hopes the range of opinions will agree. But this may be an issue. They hope it will work like this.

This is an Important step

Google controls 77% of the search engine market. People will definitely reject the truth in favor of a fake news article. They will believe claims that support prejudices that already have. Fact checking won't eliminate the problem of fake news completely. Google agrees that this is an important step to stop the spreading of fake news.
