Google Bans Corona Conspiracy Ads
Since the start of the pandemic, several conspiracy theories are being made up regarding the start of it. One of the most heard and most viral theories is that the Virus has been created in China as a bioweapon. Google has announced that such conspiracy ads and website which offer such ads would be banned from the world’s largest search engine.
Google has received many requests to ban such ads as they are creating unnecessary confusion in these critical times. It has also banned the contents which offer miracle cures for the virus as it is against the vaccine production process.
Google stated that the contents that are not allowed to make money from ads include debunked conspiracy theories, such as the notion that the novel coronavirus was created in a Chinese lab as a bioweapon, that it was created by Microsoft Corp founder Bill Gates, or that the virus is a hoax.
It has also announced that health care ads and contents about COVID-19 issued by the government and other authorized companies will only be posted in the search engine to prevent commotions in the medicine industry.
