Adrien Choussat, 2020-11-17Le problème du factchecking aujourd'hui : des médias écrivent de supers articles pour expliquer qu'une information est mauvaise, mais personne ne les voit ! Cette extension donne de la visibilité aux vérifications pour améliorer la qualité des info sur Youtube. J'espère que ça fonctionnera bientôt pour tout type de contenu.
