Propaganda sites supporting the Russian government’s war in Ukraine can sell ads through programmatic channels if their inventory is available through ad exchanges or ad networks. NOBL uses AI-driven linguistic analysis to determine, at scale and in real-time, if a web page’s content quality merits an ad placement. NOBL recently verified that its technology had proactively identified and stopped ads on all of the sites that the U.S. State Department, Media Bias / Fact Check, and FactCheck.org identified as spreading Russian propaganda.

“The Ukrainian invasion and the ensuing information war, as in previous crises, has once again put a spotlight on how advertisers are inadvertently funding disinformation online,” says Matt Rivitz, chief purpose officer, NOBL. “By using NOBL, brands can prevent their ad spend from being channeled to sites that spread misinformation about the war.”

The Basis platform provides a comprehensive selection of buying methods across all channels and devices for all major creative types and formats. Basis customers can utilize NOBL Media to proactively identify the digital environments appropriate for their brands.

“Traditional keyword blocking has defunded credible journalism in times when we most depend on it,” says Cedar Milazzo, CEO and founder, NOBL. “Advertisers play a key role in what gets funded online. We’re happy to be able to offer the industry a solution that immediately helps advertisers direct their dollars towards trusted outlets with quality reporting during this conflict.”
