This label identifies articles that include information verified by publishers and fact-checking organizations. So, you can trust on those stories.

After initial testing and success, now this “Fact Check“ tag will be available to everywhere around the globe. Not just news, Google has also started rolling out this tag to search on Google.
Facebook also has disputed tag to notify users about stories that could be false. Google has adopted an algorithmically driven approach. It is also encouraging publishers to use schema.org ClaimReview markup on web pages. If a Google News publisher does not follow the criteria for ClaimReview, it will be removed from Google News.
Google has confirmed that it is working with 115 fact-checking organizations to source fact and data.
