Hello, As many people know, FakeNews and other very harmful thing like that are totally messing our democracy, i think it would be awesome to add to Smartscreen a database of these website (flat heart and so on) who will be blocked with a new facultative settings under smartscreen like (block potential fake news website) with a news box on reporting unsecure website (i think this website tell lie or not correct information), a partnership with news guard (to have acces to their database and provide our report (anonymised) to them for further analysis.Microsoft can be the first to really fight again these massive fake news an complotist theory.

It can't happen because no single authority in the world is able to label news as fake or truth. "fake" and "truth" and often misused by politicians and people to call other news that they don't like, as "fake".there is a service called newsguard and it's very biased, labels legitimate news sources as untrustworthy.Microsoft better stay away from this dirty business.

it's why i propose a list maintained by news guard like before, just having microsoft between us and them, to to anonimysation and of course like the mobile one it's must be opt-in and only informe the user not "block" the website.

Yes, I agree as well.Did you know that the Edge mobile app has an option to turn on Newsguard? It seems that Microsoft has donated or contributed a lot to get that their extension is free on all edge browsers.Mobile Edge already has this and if you wish to have it on desktop, just install the extension but as HotCakes said, it may be very biased.

if i ask to integrate it in navscreen c'est for privacy purpose, their extension is a little too talkative for me (even if they promise they don't use them i don't trust people so easily), so it's why i think that have microsoft who have a database totally facultative (exactly like potential threath), is better since microsoft protect our data i personally trust more Microsoft than the person behind newsguard.

newsguard was biased and not successful at all. if you want it then install newsguard extension.the west always labels east as fake, and the east always labels west as fake.
