Instagram on Monday announced it had gone global in its fight against misinformation, expanding its third-party fact-checking network around the world.
The Facebook-owned social platform launched a fact-checking program in the US early this year.
"Today's expansion is an important step in our ongoing efforts to fight misinformation on Instagram," it said in an online post.
"Photo and video based misinformation is increasingly a challenge across our industry, and something our teams have been focused on addressing."
