What is the worst Coronavirus conspiracy you've heard? Most of the time, these conspiracies were made out just for laughter. But some think they are real. Due to this, Google has announced on Friday, July 17, there will be no COVID-19 conspiracy ads on the platform to make sure that all info people get from the net is mostly accurate. Does it mean 'no more COVID-19 unbelievable hoax drive'?
25% of people believe in hoax COVID-19 news
When there's the internet, there is a possibility of people sharing fake news all the time, especially now that COVID-19 is a worldwide problem for everyone.
Google announced in April that there will be an estimated amount of $6.5 million to curb the spread of COVID-19 fake news on the site. Its affiliate, Youtube, was already implementing the said rule since a huge population of conspiracies are usually released on the video-sharing site.
Even Facebook and Twitter do their jobs to make sure people only see reliable facts about the virus. How far can this movement go?
