Google decides it won't comply with EU fact-checking law


Google has told the EU that it will not comply with a forthcoming fact-checking law. The company says things are fine as they are.

The company states that it will not be adding fact checks to search results or YouTube videos and will not use fact-checking data when ranking or removing content. Google's global affairs president Kent Walker said the fact-checking integration "simply isn't appropriate or effective for our services" in a letter to the European Commission. Walker went on to say that Google will continue to invest in current content moderation technologies, like Synth ID watermarking and AI disclosures on YouTube.
