Google's billion-dollar advertising business is financing and earning revenue from articles that challenge the existence of climate change and question its severity, according to a new investigation by Global Witness.
We believe this is really important both because of scale and the apparatus that supports disinformation: Facebook advertising, Google monetization.
Global Witness believes that some of these articles breached Google's own publishing policies that do not allow "unreliable and harmful claims" that "contradict authoritative scientific consensus on climate change."
The Epoch Times is a big media empire. In 2019, it was one of the leading spenders on pro-Trump ads on Facebook.
