They outline how to get your fact checking into their system. Presumably if your fact checking is relevant and correct, you can be included in the results. At the point where an organization is trying to be included, but is being excluded or marginalized because of opinion or politics and not because of the validity of their assessments, then we can have a discussion about abuse. Until then, let's use what we have.

It's extra information added to things that are fact checked from the knowledge graph. I don't think they'll be tagging everything, since the vast majority of searches will have no associated info. Stub fact check data marked as "pending" could possibly be spidered though, and I suspect items associated with that might come up with an "Unknown" or "Pending" value in the fact check expansion area.
