Fact Check - New feature from Google Search

Yesterday Google announced a new feature for its Search services. It is called fact checked and it is pretty damn awesome.
Well, at least it targets and resolves the main issue we have today in our society all over the world: FAKE NEWS.

That's right, Google apparently wants to resolve the fake news problem all by itself by introducing fact checks to anything controversial.
So, if I search for "27 million people enslaved" I get the following first result:
Fact Check - New feature from Google Search?
This news isn't checked directly by Google, but they are checked by accredited news organizations or companies that deal with fact checking. Defiantly more accurate than blindly trusting some guys with a blog that writes some crazy conspiracies stories.

What do you think about this new Google features? Will you trust this new snippet do you think such features will help people to stay more informed with real news?

I am glad that somebody is doing something to neutralize those fake news that are getting prevalent in the internet. To be frank, I really get irritated whenever I would see someone sharing on Facebook an item about the death of a celebrity. I always comment that they need to check first before sharing because it might be fake news. And 90% of the time, it is fake news. That fact-check feature of Google is one step towards honesty.

Interesting news. In the past couple of weeks Donald Trump has been trying to fight Google because of their fake news apparently. Note that he is the king of fake news. And he accused them of spreading fake news about him(trump really obscures reality, I pity the american people) Its good that Google is doing this. Google really is the king/queen of content, that's why I call them the world's library.
