YouTube's fact-checking feature helps it address criticism over misinformation as the coronavirus creates even more pressure around the issue

to The Verge. The feature appears on certain searches that are prone to misinformation, showing an informational panel with a veracity rating of "true" or "false" before the user is shown search results. YouTube has partnered with several US publishers to act as independent fact-checkers for the feature, including PolitiFact and The Washington Post Fact Checker.

It's likely that the pandemic accelerated the decision to launch the feature in the US — as concerns over coronavirus misinformation have mounted, YouTube has faced pressures from the media, advertisers, and even the government, forcing it to take steps such as videos linking the virus to 5G towers.
