Google has decided not to implement a fact-checking system in its search results and on the YouTube platform, despite the requirements of new European Union legislation.
In a letter sent by company President Kent Walker to European Commission Executive Vice-President Renata Nikolay, Google stated that the proposed fact-checking system is «неэффективна и не соответствует задачам компании» (ineffective and does not align with the company's objectives).
Instead, Google plans to continue using existing moderation mechanisms and technologies. These include Synth ID watermarks for identifying artificially generated content, as well as data disclosure tools on the YouTube platform. The company intends to focus on improving these methods rather than integrating fact-checking, as required by the EU Code.
Despite pressure from European regulators, Google is not yet ready to commit to complying with the new norms in their current form.
