Imgur : Stop Funding Hate Politics Now


Imgur : Stop Funding Hate Politics Now
The Issue
Imgur has long provided a platform for communal sharing of images and ideas. However, it seems that Imgur's current ad policy has ineffectively managed to deal with the influx of ads promoting and amplifying hate politics. This petition calls on Imgur to take stricter measures in managing its ad content, particularly to reject any ads that support the politics of hate, often seen through certain Trump-related content from identified grifters.
Moreover, the petition calls for protection against financially exploitative ads running rampant on the platform. According to a study by the Association of National Advertisers, consumers lose more than $9.5 billion annually to digital ad fraud. While this statistic isn't specific to Imgur, as a digital platform they hold a responsibility to protect their users - known as Imgurians - from this type of scam. By taking stricter control over their ad content, Imgur can help ensure the safety and comfort of Imgurians.
Hence, we call on Imgur to update their ad policy to reject any form of support towards hate politics, and protect the trust of their users by rejecting financially exploitative ads. We urge you to stand against hate and exploitation, and sign this petition today.
