http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/google-fact-checking-presidential-election-candidates-news-hoax-fake-real-a7361231.html

Internet search giant Google has introduced a new fact-checking feature in its new section to allow readers to determine whether or not a story is true.

“Today, we’re adding another new tag, “Fact check,” to help readers find fact checking in large news stories.”

Through an algorithmic process from schema.org known as ClaimReview, live stories will be linked to fact checking articles and websites. This will allow readers to quickly validate or debunk stories they read online.Related fact-checking stories will appear onscreen underneath the main headline. The example Google uses shows a headline over passport checks for pregnant women, with a link to Full Fact’s analysis of the issue.

Readers will be able to see if stories are fake or if claims in the headline are false or being exaggerated.

Fact check will initially be available in the UK and US through the Google News site as well as the News & Weather apps for both Android and iOS. Publishers who wish to become part of the new service can apply to have their sites included.

“We’re excited to see the growth of the Fact Check community and to shine a light on its efforts to divine fact from fiction, wisdom from spin,” the company said.

>>57075605
This seems like a terrible idea and a scary precedent

***THIS POST HAS BEEN GOOGLE® FACT CHECKED™***

-This is actually a great idea, plenty of university communication professors agree
-Only racist bigots would oppose the idea of evidence and facts being presented to counter intolerant arguments
-This will create a world where politicians (i.e. Donald Trump) won't be able to blatantly lie without being corrected

""""""""""""""""Fact checking"""""""""""""""" is probably the worst meme to come out of this election cycle. It's a giant appeal to authority because 95% of the time, people are just going to read the soundbyte "check" and not investigate the sources.

Of course you can trust one of Hillarys biggest donors to be fair. Dopes. Google is so left wing this fact check app is BS. Like asking a pedo if kiddie porn is okay.

Yeah that's totally trustworthy and won't at all be influenced by the interests of Google.

Just like jewboy zuckerberg. I'm sure this will be legit and non biased. Right.

I think this is really interesting. If it actually does what it says, then it will basically tag 90% of all news as garbage.
Which is a good indicator- if it doesn't tag very much then you know it's garbage.

If this gets off the ground check for two things:
Bias (IE 'fact checking' discriminately). Only, say, left wing stuff gets 'fact checked'. Or that left wing stuff gets shown as garbage more than right wing stuff.
Lack of calling things garbage.

If this thing works it is going to destroy news reporting.

Drumpfkins are furious that he won't be able to lie with impunity anymore while an honest person like Hillary Clinton will have her truths confirmed in real time.

Fact checking is what it is. You check facts that are present in a body of speech or text.

It's difficult to evaluate significant lies by omission or facts where insufficient data exists in that regard.

For example, data about immigration could only be described as maddeningly incomplete.
