That's a great step. I can think of a few more steps they could take, such as removing ads from fake news sites.
Of course that gets into difficult judgement calls, whereas this pop-under case is pretty clear cut.
It makes sense if they want to move slowly and deliberately, but I hope they won't stop here.
- oh_sigh 9y agoAny particular fake news sites you had in mind?
- natch 9y agoStuff like outbrain.com, scribol.com, travelwhip.com, and their ilk. Obviously these are not strictly "news" but you get the idea. I think of them as sites that will do almost anything to increase clicks, ad impressions, and affiliate revenues, including presenting severely compromised content.
