Researchers find Google serves nearly half of all ad traffic on fake news sites- and Amazon is the top retailer advertising on low credibility sites: techpolicy.press/researchers-fi…
A paper to be presented tomorrow at the International University of Michigan School of Information researchers @lia_bozarth and @cerenbudak find that hundreds of fake news sites are “surprisingly dependent on top credible ad firms,” including Google, Outbrain, Yandex et al.
The Amazon finding is in a separate paper by the pair in @journalqd, which finds the online giant joining donaldjtrump dot com, americanexpress dot com and menswearhouse dot com among the top retailers appearing on low credibility sites.
I should mention papers make several references to canonical @CraigSilverman articles
My second tweet abridged the name of the conference: it is the International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media
