Google and YouTube on Tuesday said they’re providing $13.2 million to a global network of fact-checkers “on the front lines of the fight against misinformation.”

The centerpiece of the investment is a $12 million Global Fact Check Fund to support the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), which encompasses 135 fact-checking organizations from 65 countries in over 80 languages. The Fund will open in early 2023.
