Google has a policy against harmful claims about health. In this context, more than 200 million ads have been removed from the sites trying to exploit the confusion caused by the epidemic. The company took action on this issue after a report explaining that sites producing false information and conspiracy about the epidemic would generate $ 19 million in revenue this year.
"We are expanding our policy on harmful health claims for both publishers and advertisers," the company spokesperson said. Sites that contradict with science and produce dangerous content about the health crisis will now be in this scope. Content 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."
