Edge Smartscreen new feature
HI Mcqael,
Here is an image of what NewGuard checks for, it doesn't' say it is false news or not.
Yes, I have tested it and on day one it was free on Edge, I was using it!! They have a healthguard one as well but that is only for hospitals
You can be biaised and said truth
So this extension isn't the only thing you must follow and use our critical mind.
- HotCakeXJan 24, 2021MVP"i was reponding to "the west always labels east as fake" from hotcakex, since like the screen shot you have sended, they don't label as fake nor block they just warn the user with infomation (who was valide only at the time of the review), so it's just an information to ajust your critical mind, if it's totally red warning, if it's greeen warning but less than red.

they have no right to warn/label/block or show any sort of indication to brainwash users.
when you are biased and you are have the responsibility of guiding users, then you are corrupt.
plus, SmartScreen has nothing to do with this.
if you want to use your own mind, then you don't need biased corporates to tell you what news to listen to. - DeletedJan 23, 2021
Oh, I see what you mean now. They can't block you from visiting a site since it is the user's end control to do that. I don't' know much about the new guard and you can contact them if you have any questions. Have you read on their website on how it all works?
SInce they have updated a lot of sites ratings in the past few days in this month

it's not about blocking, it's about indicating and suggesting users which sources and true and which sources are fake.
is a country is on US's side, then they are always true, but if a country is not a US ally, then they downplay their sources and news reports, happens all the time.
Microsoft should stay away from this dirty business.- DeletedJan 24, 2021Yes, I totally agree with the first point, it is just suggesting you but you are in control if you want to believe it or not.
Yes, Microsoft should not be affiliated with this.
