YouTube is continuously monitoring the content on its platform to check misinformative and violative posts as there has been a rise in "interest" due to the election season, an official of the Google's service said.
The online video service from this month has started providing information panel in India around certain events, topics, publishers alongside search and videos to make users aware of context and videos they watch, he highlighted.
When asked about the trend of fake news or misinformative content that YouTube is seeing on its platform particularly after the announcement of general elections, YouTube News Partnerships Director Tim Katz said, "Right now, certainly, there is a rise in interest because of the election but we continue to monitor and take down content."
