When browsing the internet, it can sometimes be difficult to discern trustworthy sources. Fake websites and misleading content can mislead users and sometimes even compromise their personal information. Google is taking a new step to solve this problem: “Verified” blue tick.

New crackdown on fake websites from Google: Blue tick era begins

Google’s blue tick feature will appear next to links to specific businesses in search results. When users see this blue tick next to a business link, they will be able to verify that the business is indeed operating as advertised.

Google evaluates a number of factors in this verification process, including data from business centers, manual reviews and website verification. Especially at a time when the number of fake sites and scammers is growing rapidly, such verification systems will bring great comfort.

When we see a blue tick, we will no longer need to ask the question “Is this business safe?”. But what’s interesting here is that Google is starting to work not only as a search engine, but also as a security shield.

This could be an important step in preventing fake sites and misinformation. Of course, it remains to be seen how this process will work and how effective it will be. What do you think about this? You can write your opinions in the comments section below.
