       Google cuts funding to Full Fact.Google has ended its support for fact checker Full Fact. The company has been one of its biggest funders over the last three years, helping it build some of the best AI tools for fact checking in the world.Full Fact received over £1m from Google last year, either directly or via funds the company supports.These have all either not been renewed, or have been cut altogether.https://mediafaro.org/article/20251016-google-cuts-funding-to-full-fact?mf_channel=mastodon&action=forward#Google #FullFact #FactChecking #AI #Tech #Disinformation

       @mf_newsdigest Ecosia seems to work pretty good as a google alternative. Stop using google. Simple.

       @mazigazi @mf_newsdigest This not about what to use as a search engine, there are indeed alternatives for Google Search such as Ecosia, or DuckDuckGo or Qwant.This is about Google who used to sponsor FullFact but now has stopped doing so.Unless Ecosia, or Qwant, or DuckDuckGo now send a million per year Fullfact’s way then this is a loss for most people.#FullFact #FactChecking
