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.
- HotCakeXJan 22, 2021MVPnewsguard 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.- WittycatJan 23, 2021Iron Contributorthey don't label as fake have you tested it before talking about ?
They juste say (this website is known for never correct error)
Or they are known to publish false content.
But they don't label anything as "FAKE"
- AnonymousJan 22, 2021Yes, 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.- HotCakeXJan 24, 2021MVP"Yes, I agree as well.

Yes, of course i know that, it's right in the settings, the biased useless service. - WittycatJan 22, 2021Iron Contributorif 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.
