YouTube will fight plot theories with the help of Wikipedia

For unknown reasons, content related to the so-called. theories of conspiracy especially bother Google. In the past, the company had several attempts to "vote" against the dissemination of content, especially videos with such content. But since it would not be politically correct for them to completely censor themselves from the Internet, this time Google thought of something else.

The most popular video sharing platform, YouTube, will in the future "fight" against misinformation by offering information provided by the Wikipedia virtual encyclopedia. So, in addition to any "suspicious" video clip, the "official version" of the event for which Wikipedia is guaranteed is guaranteed. The information will be provided in the form of a cloud that will appear under the video.

YouTube's first person, Susan Voichichki, shared more information about the new practice. Namely, this way of informing will not be applied only to videos related to "conspiracy theory". It will, however, aim to offer alternative information even for topics that are shared by shared opinions.

This step comes after a series of allegations that the platform spreads videos that promote misinformation. Although YouTube is not a news agency, it is still responsible for the accuracy of the information provided. Discouraging is the only approach to Wikipedia and their infallibility when it comes to "general truths."
