At the Brand Safety Summit, major tech firms strategized on limiting advertising revenue to news outlets deemed to be spreading 'misinformation', yet exhibited scant self-examination on past errors.
When questioned about lessons from past censorship failures, the panelists, including representatives from major firms, deflected responsibility, citing third-party fact-checkers instead of acknowledging their own roles in spreading disinformation.
Andrew Serby emphasized reliance on verified fact-checks from academic institutions and third-party companies, indicating a lack of accountability among tech firms for content moderation decisions.
Susan Zemlyakova reiterated that TikTok collaborates with multiple fact-checking organizations to enforce their disinformation policies, highlighting a reliance on external validators to determine content safety.
