ICYMI: IN this month's Misinformation Monitor newsletter from @NewsGuardRating , we explore how COVID-19 misinformation spreads. Including how one particular hoax started on an obscure site in India and found its way to highly trafficked US sites:

Note to marketing people at @Lowes @menswearhouse @nike (and others). If you used BrandGuard, the humanly curated brand safety product from NewsGuard, your ads would only appear on NewsGuard rated GREEN news sites—not sites like this:

NewsGuard’s Misinformation SWAT Team Issues Red Ratings to Two Networks Publishing Dozens of Hoax Websites: https://t.co/pOAeDspRt5

NewsGuard co-CEO @crovitz on our new BrandGuard service: "An advertiser’s worst nightmare is having an ad placement damage even one customer’s trust in a brand." That can happen when your brand shows up on hoaxes & conspiracy theories like this death hoax with an @Instacart ad.

BrandGuard is our new service for advertisers and ad agencies. It allows them to license our ratings to make custom decisions about where to display their ads. For instance, they could exclude ALL sites that regularly publish false information. https://t.co/zB1q1jOCs9

Much misinformation is supported by programmatic ads. For example, here are ads from major brands like @Starbucks @CapitalOne @Progressive on @NTKNet, which looks like news but is run by a political PR firm. That's why we're launching BrandGuard: https://t.co/AhJ8Hy3Tqn

It's worth noting that networks of red-rated sites like The Political Voice (32 duplicate URLs, murky ownership, distorted facts) have programmatic ads everywhere. Do brands really want their ads displayed on hoax stories? (That's why NewsGuard has a #brandsafety product too.)

Information-integrity efforts like ⁦@NewsGuardRating⁩ are the antidote to advertisers’ woes. https://t.co/E5zMemwVtj

It's easy to accuse a black-box #algorithm of bias because nobody knows how it really works. That's why NewsGuard has trained journalists--not machines--rating thousands of news sites. Unlike an algorithm, our process is completely transparent: https://t.co/gXd4R6sG29

Disinformation can distort democracy. Those who propagate it seek to undermine trust in democratic institutions, and sow discord and conflict. #Microsoft is defending against disinformation in partnership with NewsGuard. https://t.co/9sMK3PpIeg

If you’re tired of letting black box algorithms decide what’s trustworthy, here’s one potential antidote. https://t.co/iHMGWUHN1U
