That's a good step, I wonder how that effects pages which host widgets from "Outbrain" and the like. So Salon (for example) has a block of "you might also be interested in" articles scattered around their content.
Articles is a pretty charitable term for them I guess but headlines like:
"Tiffany Trump's IQ will shock you"
"You won't believe what she looks like today"
"Plastic surgery nightmares"
and so on... does Salon get docked for Outbrain's lack of integrity? Does Salon's "organic shares" get penalized? What about sputnik news or Russia Today (RT.com)?
I think it is a great step in the right direction, but they have far more responsibility than just refusing money from them for ads.
Bots on the Hamilton 68 dashboard http://dashboard.securingdemocracy.org/ http://dashboard.securingdemocracy.org/ clearly work together to amplify the voices of antidemocratic forces. FB & twitter should (in my opinion) detect and prevent fake-viral root and branch.
