Google wants to stop the spread of misinformation about coronavirus.
Google is putting some much-needed cash in the hands of organizations working overtime to get accurate information to the public around the coronavirus as rumor, hoaxes and false claims abound.
“Helping the world make sense of this information requires a broad response, involving scientists, journalists, public figures, technology platforms and many others,” Mantzarlis wrote in a blogpost. “Collaboration will be a crucial component of journalism’s response to a story as complicated and all-encompassing as COVID-19.
“The new project will collate data around the virus for countries around the world,” Mantzarlis said. “It will focus on helping journalists use local data for impact in their communities as well as aggregating data for national and global journalism.”
