.Arielle Garcia made her first public appearance as Check My Ads' Director of Intelligence this week, speaking at the WSJ CMO Network Summit! She spread the message about how CMOs can stop paying for bad data to reach fake people on unsafe websites — and save democracy, too.

Failure to uphold & enforce election-integrity policies and expand non-English staffing to monitor disinfo, political deepfakes & other harmful content will be catastrophic to free & fair elections worldwide.

Candidates should be up for a vote — not democracy. That's why we've signed on to a letter demanding that tech platforms protect election integrity.

🔥It's been a year (!) since I joined Check My Ads.

From setting up a newsroom to disrupting the dirty dealings of bad actors who sneakily siphon away ad money, it's been such fun ride.

I couldn't ask for a more badass, smart, plucky team to do it with.

LOLLL…X can’t get advertisers back without TAG’s brand safety certification…and TAG’s head Mike Zaneis can’t give it back bc his org loses all remaining credibility if he does.

I am LIVING for this drama (that I created) 💅🏼

“Imagine if a car dealership slapped a Lexus sticker on an economy Toyota and sold it to you as a Lexus.”

Patience 🧐's scoop is a must-read to understand how adtech opacity keeps companies from getting what they paid for.

X is no longer Brand Safety Certified with TAG. Here's what that means, and why it matters.

🚨 Breaking: Center for Countering Digital Hate has won dismissal on all counts against @ElonMusk's X Corp's outrageous and hypocritical SLAPP suit to silence our research.

This ruling sends a strong message to those who aim at intimidating and silencing independent research.

More from us soon.

Congratulations to Center for Countering Digital Hate, whose freedom of speech and research into hate and disinformation on X will never be silenced by bogus lawsuits.

Meta plans to abandon its transparency and election integrity tool, CrowdTangle, during a critical election year.

We’ve signed a letter along with Mozilla and 90 organizations to demand Meta reconsider.
