Google is profiting from Spanish-language sites that push COVID lies and
conspiracy theories. Tell Google: Don't bankroll sites that spread COVID
misinformation.

Dear John,
Google is paying millions of dollars in ad money to websites that pump out
lethal disinformation about COVID-19 -- like masks don’t work, and that
vaccines are harmful.
These lies are costing lives, and they’re getting bankrolled by Google!
Huge public pressure has pushed Google to take action against
disinformation websites in English, but unbelievably it’s still pumping
cash into their Spanish equivalents.
It’s so easy for Google to end this in all languages -- but it won’t
unless we call them out. Add your name and let’s embarrass them into
action:
[ [link removed] ]Tell Google to STOP funding COVID misinformation
These websites are a key to the spread of dangerous disinformation about
Covid-19, like that vaccines are harmful and masks don’t work. And Google
is paying them millions for hosting ads for companies like AT&T, Adidas
and Levi’s.
The fact Google has acted against English sites -- where the PR spotlight
is -- but not in Spanish says it all. They could easily stop this, they’re
just choosing not to.
It’s the worst kind of corporate behaviour -- just like when Facebook
fails to remove life threatening COVID disinformation. We can’t let
another multi-billion dollar company like Google get away with this. Sign

[ [link removed] ]Tell Google to STOP funding Spanish language COVID misinformation
Your voice is so important -- just last month, a public outcry forced
Google to stop pouring ad money into disinformation sites that make money
by promoting climate lies. So let’s keep up the momentum, and keep
fighting until all users are protected from harm.
As part of the fight, you can also [ [link removed] ]send a special message to Google
about why misinformation is so dangerous and why they MUST stop funding
it.

Thanks for all that you do,
