Google will expand the use of "fact check" tags in its search results — the tech industry's latest effort to combat false and misleading news stories.
People who search for a topic in Google's main search engine or the Google News section will see a conclusion such as "mostly true" or "false" next to stories that have been fact checked.
Google has been working with more than 100 news organizations and fact-checking groups , including The Associated Press, the BBC and NPR. Their conclusions will appear in search results as long as they meet certain formatting criteria for automation.
Google said it expects the ranks of 'compliant' organizations to grow following Friday's announcement.
