Advertising that does so will no longer be run across Google\u2019s ads network.<\/li>\n<li>The company did not share data on the scope of the issue but did say that once enforcement of the policy begins it would have a clearer picture. Enforcement of the new policy will begin in 30 days for publishers and creators and 60 days for advertisers.<\/li>\n<li>Google will use AI and human review to enforce the policy against \u201cviolating publisher content, Google-served ads, and YouTube videos that are monetizing via YouTube\u2019s Partner Program.\u201d Monetized content will be evaluated to differentiate between \u201ccontent that states a false claim as fact versus content that reports on or discusses that claim.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Organic content does not apply. At the same time, monetized content on other climate-related topics such as public debates about climate policy, the impact of climate change and new research on climate change will still be able to be monetized. As for organic content, YouTube has its own policies in place to reduce the spread of misinformation and point consumers to authoritative content through search results and context panels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The first step<\/strong><br \/>\nAdvertisers and agency execs see Google\u2019s policy change as a move in the right direction for the company. \u201cThis is a great step forward and a welcome change,\u201d said Joshua Lowcock, chief digital and innovation officer at UM, adding that the news comes on the heels of a recent report from IPG Mediabrands on the acceleration of misinformation and the danger that poses for advertisers. \u201cI hope this sets a precedent for other companies and ad tech partners to follow,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Read Full Article on <a href=\"https:\/\/digiday.com\/marketing\/the-rundown-google-creates-new-policy-to-prevent-advertisers-creators-from-making-money-off-of-climate-misinformation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Digiday<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Misinformation about climate change \u2014 i.e. \u201ccontent that contradicts well-established scientific consensus around the existence and causes of climate change\u201d \u2014 will not be monetizable under a new Google policy for advertisers, publishers and YouTube creators.
