Here's Who Decides What's Offensive For Google
Posted in: Uncategorized
Rick Summers, principal, global publisher policies at Google, is paid to get offended.
Summers oversees the development and implementation of global publisher policies for both AdSense and Doubleclick Ad Exchange. He is, in essence, the platform’s fake news top cop. Summers and his team keep an eye out for threats that often start small, but can potentially emerge into larger, damaging affairs for Google.
Last week, Summers and his team, which he describes as a “scrappy set of nerds” comprising English majors, lawyers and engineers, also updated Google’s hate speech policy to prohibit publishers from making money off specific webpages that feature hateful or offensive content.
