YouTube will add links to "Wikipedia" to video with conspiracy theories

YouTube video hosting will add links to “Wikipedia” and other sites with reliable data on the described events to the clips with various theories of conspiracy. This was stated by the head of YouTube Susan Vojitsky at the South Bywest festival in Austin.

Thus, the service will fight misinformation, the scale of which has been increasing recently. Earlier, YouTube was criticized due to the fact that in the recommendations and in the search line users often offered conspiracy theological videos and other controversial content.

Links will appear in special windows in the video itself. As an example, Vojittically cited the example of the video that the Americans were actually never landed on the moon, as well as a recent video, which stated that one of the students survived in the recent shooting in Florida was actually an actor. This video fell into the trends of the American YouTube.
