YouTube has taken the initiative and started adding fact-check links below certain videos that are typically disputed by conspiracy theorists. An example of this is a History Channel video which discusses the Oklahoma City Bombing which occurred on April 19, 1995. YouTube has now added a link below the video to a historical article from the Encyclopedia Britannica website which details the event in American history. Wikipedia is supposedly used for some videos, but I haven't noticed it.
Right now, YouTube's program seems to be in rollout mode--though it's not YouTube's only tool for tackling conspiracy theories. Sometimes, YouTube pushes back on misinformation by downgrading it in its search algorithms.
Remember to follow the forum rules and don't launch personal attacks against other users. Don't make me look bad for posting this information that I think is good tech news because you can't follow the rules.
Thanks guys and gals!
