ADVERTISERS: @google continues to monetize hate, harassment and disinformation with your money, not just risking the credibility of your brand, but damaging society at the same time. You don’t have to put up with this.

In 2016, we began notifying advertisers that they were ending up on Breitbart without their knowledge, supporting articles like “There’s No Hiring Bias Against Women In Tech, They Just Suck In Interviews”. Nearly 95% of them were not aware.

According to Steve Bannon himself, companies were providing Breitbart with over $8 million in free cash flow.

This is WITHOUT THE COMPANIES KNOWING ABOUT IT! This is advertising malpractice.

What’s really crazy is that industry groups like @iab are partially funded by @google, so they can never hold them to account.

Advertisers need to step up and demand transparency from @google. It’s their brands that will ultimately pay the price.

Incredible work by the great @DisinfoIndex on uncovering this huge story.
