– Google will be adding two new features to its image search to reduce the spread of misinformation

– The company’s first new feature is called ‘About this image,’ which intends when an image or similar ones were first indexed by Google, where the image has first appeared, and where else they’ve shown up online.

– It will help users to pinpoint the original source while also contextualizing an image with any debunking evidence that might have been provided by news organizations.

– Midjourney and Shutterstock are among the publishers that Google has on board.

Google’s new features which are introduced this year, are comparatively lower-tech but may have a bigger positive impact with sufficient industry support.
