Taking a look at the details, Google promises to aid global organizations including governments to stem the spread of misinformation. Such events have caused numerous deaths around the globe, and companies such as Facebook have had to speed up their efforts to ensure that any news related to COVID-19 that is shared on their platforms is fact-checked.According to the company, the $250 million it has set aside for anti-misinformational purposes represents a 10x increase over its prior commitment made at the start of this month.

An additional $540 million of support targets small businesses and communities that the company believes will be unable to utilize traditional financing institutions to come to their aid in this time of need. Travel restrictions, manufacturing gluts and largescale lockdowns have pinched consumer spending, which has made it hard for small companies to maintain healthy top lines. Subsequently, organizations without strong balance sheets or adequate cash reserves to meet operational needs and fixed costs at a time of an economic pinch are finding it difficult to keep the shutters open.

Materially, Google's Cloud credits to aid institutions in the area are worth $20 million.

The bulk of the company's products cover maintenance technicians and first-responders.
