Telegram Introduces Fact Check Feature to Combat Fake News

27.05.2024

In the beta version of Telegram for Android, a new feature called Fact Check has been discovered, designed to combat the spread of fake news on the platform.

The Fact Check function will collaborate with various agencies specializing in information verification. These partnerships are intended to ensure that the information shared on Telegram is accurate and reliable.

Fact Check will add explanatory information to messages, providing context and clarification to users. Governments will have the authority to appoint the agencies that will work with Telegram to verify information.

The operation of Fact Check will be transparent, allowing users to see which agency was responsible for verifying the information. However, regular users will not have the ability to influence the content provided by Fact Check, ensuring an unbiased and authoritative approach to fact-checking on the platform.
