我們獲得肺炎疫情最新消息的途徑，很多時候都是在社交平台以及 Google 搜尋所得，不過現在資訊爆炸，稍一不慎都會被誤導。有見及此 Google 和 Facebook 分別都推出特別功能，讓用家更容易獲得正確資訊。

Google 方面推出了 SOS 警告功能，它是 Google 為重大危急狀況而設的功能，當用家搜尋「武漢肺炎」關鍵字的時候，在一般的搜尋結果雙方會顯示可信來源的新聞和相關防疫資訊等等，減低用家看到不實資訊的機會。不過目前看來中文「武漢肺炎」搜尋關鍵字仍然未能觸發這個功能。

Facebook 方面則與第三方消息核查機構合作，針對與武漢肺炎相關的內容進行核查，一旦找出有假消息，就會限制其散播以及向收取該內容的用家發出通知。而如果是由國際健康機構明確表示是假消息或者陰謀論的內容，就會直接移除內容。同樣的限制也在 Instagram 有效。
