YouTube Donates $25 Million to Combat "Fake News" AND "Conspiracy Theories"


In its continuing efforts to fight fake news and conspiracy theories on the platform, YouTube on Monday said it will make “authoritative” news sources more prominent, especially in the aftermath of breaking news events, such as terrorist attacks, natural disasters, major accidents and other situations where misinformation can spread quickly. The company committed $25 million as part of the $300 million Google News Initiative launched by its parent company in March. The fund is expected to help the company support journalism and fight the growing problem of fake news by taking the steps necessary to ensure the authenticity of news available online.
