Google AdSense Publishers React To Fake News Ban

I am sure you have all heard about the news around Facebook, Google and others cracking down on fake news distribution and monetization. Mid-November, shortly after the election, many went after fake news sites - with good reason. In fact, before election day, Google even did a fact check feature for Google News. That being said, Google told the New York Times that they are going to crack down on AdSense publishers who distribute fake news. Google's Andrea Faville told the NY Times: "Moving forward, we will restrict ad serving on pages that misrepresent, misstate or conceal information about the publisher, the publisher’s content or the primary purpose of the web property," Ms. Faville said. Ms. Faville said that the policy change had been in the works for a while and was not in reaction to the election.
