Hello and welcome.
If you're wondering why this is out of sequence or if you finished the course and you're wondering why
you don't have 100% anymore, it's because I've gone back and I've updated the course.
Now, I think I mentioned it somewhere that I would try to update the course periodically, and that's
something I feel that's important, is as I come across different tools or different techniques I think
are really cool that you guys and gals should know about, you know, I want to present it to you or
if certain techniques changed that I feel is important to let everyone know I'm going to try to get
in there and change it and update it.
So that's what we have the video here today.
And this is safe surf safe, rather.
So this is actually a pretty cool tool.
It's designed for fighting against fake news.
Essentially, if you see a photo in this post, a news story, you could potentially use this program
to kind of try to figure it out if it's actually legitimate, legitimate or not, or if someone just
Photoshopped and is trying to create some fake news story out of it so they can actually come in really
handy for and in terms of if you're investigating something and you come across this photo or this news
story and you're not sure if it's legitimate or not, you can potentially use this to try to find out
and verify the information.
So it it makes that step that much easier.
Now, it's in the Chrome Store, and I'm not a huge fan of Chrome, but it's it's currently Chrome.
I believe they're going to make a Firefox extension on it.
Don't quote me on that, though.
And when you search for in the Chrome Store, be sure to type in surf safe as one word.
If you don't do that, it will come up with other applications that I really can't vouch if it's if
they're legitimate or not.
So let's take a look at this thing.
So as it says here, it's a it's a designed for to catch fake news.
And it does that by when you click, when you search something or a search image, it's going to actually
pop a little box on you.
So once you install it here, it's going to come with this little icon here.
And as we see here, if you hover over the image, it'll show you the indicator here.
And.
Let's click next here.
What you do is once you have been installed, you start clicking on clicking on new sources that you
feel are trustworthy.
So I'm going to actually click on a few here.
I have uninstalled a sim reinstalled in a couple of times.
So I need to reconfigure this again.
And as you can see here, there's a lot of different news outlets here that you could actually choose
from to help verify
how safe your sources.
So when you click next year.
Okay.
I'm going to click on the capture.
He knows I'm not a robot and we're in start surfing.
So this is pretty cool here.
So here's a here's a picture.
You know, sometimes a photoshops can be really good.
This one, you can kind of tell it looks pretty fake and click on here and it's going to analyze it
and has a warning here.
This image has been fact checked by six sources.
So that makes things a lot easier when you're again, where you're searching certain images.
And if you want to take that extra step to verify whether it actually is or isn't Photoshopped.
So this is safe surf.
It's a super easy program to use.
Again, all you do is hover over image to see, to go check on it.
Matter of fact, we pulled something like MSN.com.
And as you see here, if I hover over these images here, it has this little bubble here.
If I click on that, it's going to try to start analyzing it, determine if it's actually legitimate
or not.
Certain things may not be in the database.
Other things will be.
So if I click on this picture here, that doesn't look like it found anything here.
But again, the more sources you choose, the higher chance it is that it's probably going to be in
there.
Or if you let a little time pass as other news sites start picking up these things, it should be able
to fact check it also.
So again, just another tool in your arsenal of open tools to use.
And again, this was served safe.
And again, make sure that you type in all it as one word if you're going to grab it from the Chrome
Store.
Thank you for watching and I'll see you in the next video.
