"What we do not see is much effort by YouTube to implement policies that address the problem," the letter states.

By not taking effective action, the video service is permitting itself "to be weaponized" by individuals seeking to "manipulate and exploit" others, the letter adds.
信中还写道，由于没有采取有效的措施，该视频网站被试图“操纵和利用”他人的个人“武器化”。
The fact-checking organizations offered to assist YouTube in fighting against the publication of false information.
事实核查组织表示愿意协助YouTube打击虚假信息的发布。
They said they are especially equipped to help because of their experience with fact-checking news stories and fighting misinformation around the world.

They are all members of the International Fact Checking Network.

The groups said that presenting fact-checked information to people is more effective than simply removing false content.

The letter said the problem is especially difficult in non-English speaking nations and in the southern half of the world.

The groups urged YouTube to center on providing context and fact-checked information that can clearly be seen on videos.

In a statement, YouTube spokesperson Elena Hernandez defended the company's policies.
在一份声明中，YouTube发言人埃琳娜·埃尔南德斯为该公司的政策进行了辩护。
She said YouTube spends a lot on such efforts around the world and seeks to connect people to "authoritative content."
她说，YouTube为此在世界各地投入了大量资金，并试图将人们与“权威内容”联系起来。
Hernandez called fact-checking an important tool "to help viewers make their own informed decisions" about what they are watching.
埃尔南德斯称事实核查是一个重要的工具，可以“帮助观众对他们要观看的视频做出自己明智的决定。
But she added that such efforts are just "one piece of a much larger puzzle" that seeks to limit the spread of misinformation.
但她还说，这些努力只是旨在限制错误信息传播的“一个更大的拼图中的一块”。
