Google informed the EU that it will not comply with the forthcoming fact-checking law, citing its content moderation policies and previous investments in a European database.
Kent Walker, Google’s global affairs president, stated in his letter that fact-checking integration 'simply isn't appropriate or effective for our services', reflecting the company’s long-standing stance on moderating content.
Despite the upcoming mandatory fact-checking requirements from the EU, Google emphasized its own content moderation efforts during last year's global elections, comparing its technology to emerging community note platforms.
With the EU poised to enforce digital fact-checking practices, Google’s refusal to comply raises questions about the future response of major tech companies to such regulations.
