Tech giant Google is launching a new experiment to curb misinformation in the country. A senior executive told Reuters that the initiative will be undertaken by Google’s subsidiary, Jigsaw, and has been designed to prevent fake news. The project will involve ‘prebunking’ videos that have been posted on YouTube and other sister social media sites. Prebunking involves flagging videos and specific disinformation much before their dissemination.
