Facebook faced ample criticism from the U.S. government pertaining to their lack of effort in trying to stop the spread of misinformation, specifically misinformation surrounding COVID-19.
According to SocialMediaToday, “YouTube has unveiled its latest push on the same [combatting misinformation], with the addition of new labels on videos from authoritative health sources, and prioritized links to these clips in searches related to health concerns.”
As stated by YouTube: “These context cues are aimed at helping people more easily navigate and evaluate credible health information. People will still be able to find relevant videos from a range of sources in their search results.”
