Although this work was already underway, it has now been extended to India, Brazil, and Japan. Obviously, this is aimed at providing accurate health information and discouraging misinformation.

The service was launched in the United States last year. Like Facebook, YouTube used this option at the height of the Covid-19 epidemic because the market for rumors and misinformation was hot.
