NEW: Over 4000 advertisers have confirmed blocking Breitbart since 2016, but we’ve found that @GoogleAds has continued to serve their ads there through a little-known feature called Google Search Network — including @JoeBiden’s campaign. https://branded.substack.com/p/joe-bidens-campaign-has-been-funding">https://branded.substack.com/p/joe-bid...
When you run a paid search campaign, @GoogleAds gives you the option to "Include Google Search Partners." Most marketers will tick the box, because they want to max out impressions, not limit them.

What Google doesn& #39;t tell you is that Breitbart is one of those Search Partners.
In fact, @GoogleAds& #39; official policy is to NOT tell you who their Search Partners are. If you tick that box, you have no way to check which websites & orgs are receiving your ad $$.

A BIG problem bc @Google inventory includes 10000s of disinformation & hate speech sites.
If you were say, a propaganda site that had just lost 90% of its revenue due to a social media campaign, Google Search Network is the perfect place to do some fake traffic crime.

Advertisers have ZERO visibility thanks to @GoogleAds refusing to share that data with them.
There are record amounts going into digital this year, but @JoeBiden and institutions like @actblue @ACLU @USPS have no idea idea how much donor + taxpayer money they& #39;ve spent on a white supremacist website, thanks to @GoogleAds& #39;s negligence.
Have you already blocked Breitbart in @GoogleAds? Your exclusion list apparently does not apply to Search!

This means the 4000+ brands that have confirmed blocking Breitbart via Sleeping Giants are still advertising on Breitbart.

When @thezedwards flagged the issue w/ @GoogleAds, they told him Google& #39;s Display Network & Search Network are separate entities...as if this were common knowledge.

They then manually removed @JoeBiden& #39;s campaign search ads from Breitbart. (They no longer appear on the site.)
Brands like @BedBathBeyond @BobsRedMill @autodesk @CelestialTea have already taken the steps to add Breitbart to their exclusion lists.

Google is still placing their ads on Breitbart without their knowledge or consent.
