Trust in democracy is under threat.
Google’s Ads service is placing adverts on, and therefore funding, websites publishing election-related misinformation. Google also profits from each ad. Trust in democracy is under threat. Misinformation about mail-in ballots is being spread online in order to suppress voter turnout, while conspiracy theories about electoral fraud and the rigging of the election undermine trust in the democratic process. This risks a break in the peaceful transfer of power.
