Webinar:
From Content To Payment
Social media platforms have introduced their own monetization rules establishing who and what can generate revenue through their services. Despite the significant sums of money at play, there is very little transparency and oversight. Inadequate due diligence can lead to platforms financing the global disinformation crisis, accelerating the demise of legitimate creators and independent media and fueling reputational risk and financial losses to advertisers. Social media companies have repetitively demonstrated that they can not be trusted with handling content moderation and advertising at scale. Can we trust them to handle millions of payments worth billions of US dollars every month?
