Google does not want to introduce its own fact checks for the results of its search engine, as the company made clear in a letter to the EU Commission.

Google rejects EU's fact-checking requirements for search and YouTube, defying new disinformation rules. Google has reportedly told the EU it won’t add fact-checking to search results or YouTube videos, nor will it use fact-checks to influence rankings or remove content. This decision defies new EU rules aimed at tackling disinformation.

A recent report reveals that Google has informed the EU that it won't be adhering to an upcoming fact-checking law.

In a recent letter to the European Union, Google has made it clear that it will not incorporate fact-checking into its search algorithms or YouTube videos. The tech giant rejected proposals to use fact-checking as a factor in content ranking or removal, according to a report by Axios.

New EU regulations call for Google to include fact-checking results alongside Google and Youtube searches. Google is refusing to meet the guidelines.

Google announced its intention Thursday to flout European Union standards for digital fact-checking, opting not to build an internal department to moderate and verify YouTube content despite requirements from a new law.

The pushback comes as the emboldened leaders of US tech companies, including Google CEO Sundar Pichai, have been courting President-elect Donald Trump, with Tim Cook and Mark Zuckerberg urging him directly to combat EU regulatory enforcement.
