(AP photo)NEW YORK - Google will expand the use of "fact check'' tags in its search results -- the tech industry's latest effort to combat false and misleading news stories. Google has been working with more than 100 news organisations and fact-checking groups, including The Associated Press, the BBC and NPR. Google said only a few of those organisations, including PolitiFact and Snopes.com, have already met those requirements; The Washington Post also says it complies. Google started offering fact check tags in the United States and the United Kingdom in October and expanded the programme to a handful of other countries in the subsequent months.
