Senators Marsha Blackburn and Richard Blumenthal raised concerns with Amazon and Google CEOs regarding ads funding sites hosting child sexual abuse material (CSAM). They highlighted Google's ad placements on imgbb.com, known for hosting CSAM since 2021, and noted the U.S. government's ads also appeared on this site. The letters challenged ad verification companies' claims of using sophisticated technology to prevent such occurrences, emphasizing the apparent failure to safeguard against heinous content, prompting serious accountability from these tech firms and ad agencies.
Recent research indicates that Google has facilitated the placement of advertising on imgbb.com, a website that has been known to host CSAM since at least 2021.
DoubleVerify states that its 'Universal Content Intelligence' capabilities provide a holistic approach to content analysis... yet, DoubleVerify customers have had ads served on a website that hosts content involving heinous crimes against children.
