The online advertising market needs urgent, structural reform to support democracy and journalism

informationdemocracywebsite — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 05:00:00 +0000

As the world is still grappling with the threats of disinformation, public interest media’s sustainability keeps eroding. In its latest report, the Forum on Information and Democracy calls for a structural reform of the online advertising market to reroute part of its revenues towards trustworthy news sources. It provides a clear roadmap for governments willing to take action.

By 2034, the size of the online advertising market should reach an astonishing 1.5 trillion dollars. And if the market does not evolve, a vast majority of this revenue will be captured by a small number of companies, with the Google monopoly taking the biggest share.

Meanwhile, across regions, the news media industry continues to suffer from an unfair and opaque programmatic advertising system. Advertisers, on their side, face reputational risks and lose money in a system that finances fraud.

Based on in depth research and the contribution of 40 experts, a new policy brief from the Forum on Information and Democracy proposes a concrete plan to reform the online advertising industry, in support of journalism and democracy.

A deeply flawed market harming news media and advertisers alike

The report highlights that, while laudable initiatives at redirecting advertising revenue to news media have been tried, the current structure of the online advertising market remains deeply unfair and does not support information integrity. This is largely due to a broken market dominated by a few technological giants perpetuating monopolistic practices by operating on all sides of the market, with Google today holding between 40–90% of market share across the various layers of the adtech stack.

The shift from direct ad placements to automated networks represents a broader trend driven by an impression of efficiency and lack of transparency. Advertisers lack control over where their ads appear and what exactly it funds. This leads to significant resource wastage on platforms that promote low-quality or misleading AI-generated “made for advertising” (MFA) websites that would otherwise reach news publishers.

Fraud within the system was estimated at more than USD $84 billion in 2023. Large platforms, meanwhile, benefit further from the spread of harmful content, which their algorithms tend to favor in pursuit of ever-greater engagement. News publishers on their side continue to face severe financial challenges, suffering from the loss of advertising revenue to big tech companies and generative AI using journalistic content often without fair compensation, while also reducing traffic to news sites.

Governments should act to recreate the conditions of a fair market

The policy brief entitled Ads for News, News for ads provides recommendations to governments which have a direct responsibility in ensuring the condition for a fair online advertising market. Recommendations encompass immediate, actionable steps such as incentives for advertisers or mandating a media exception in programmatic advertising.

While these actions can be taken within the existing advertising landscape more profound structural reforms aimed at restoring fairness to the digital advertising ecosystem must also be considered, such as:

Establishing transparency requirements across the advertising market supply chain to help advertisers and publishers make informed decisions, including clear visibility into where ads are placed, revenue flows, and what kind of information is being funded.

Reducing the diversion from publishers to illicit websites, mandatory due diligence and Know-Your-Customer (“KYC”) requirements for all advertising intermediaries to verify the identity, beneficial ownership, and legitimacy of the publishers, advertisers, networks, and verification firms with which they transact, and to maintain auditable records for regulatory oversight.

Implementing legally binding technical standards governing audience measurement, as currently many of the indicators used to assess campaign success are defined and operationalized within platforms’ own ecosystems, creating incentives that favor scale over the quality of engagement, often to the benefit of low-quality websites and to the detriment of publishers.

Towards a strategic collaboration between advertisers and media

The report further calls for a collaborative approach including advertisers and media organisations. Experts have highlighted different initiatives and strategies to help foster an ecosystem that delivers better results for both.

“While the report primarily addresses governments, there are moral and financial imperatives for all stakeholders to engage in reshaping the advertising market in a way that uplifts quality journalism and defunds harmful information,” explains Camille Grenier, Executive Director of the FID.

As legal scrutiny of dominant platforms intensifies with the Google ad tech trials both in the US and the EU, this policy brief provides a roadmap for governments to create a fair and transparent ad market that works in support of democracy, journalism and advertisers.

Addressing the regulatory blindspot: recommendations to promote information integrity on private messaging platforms

informationdemocracywebsite — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 05:00:00 +0000

As private messaging platforms keep posing threats to information integrity and access to reliable information, the Forum on Information and Democracy and its partners are releasing the results of a dedicated workstream led by Ukraine and Luxembourg. The report was elaborated with the support of the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights and calls upon governments to regulate features rather than platform categories and to clearly define private and public communications.

Co-chaired by the governments of Ukraine and Luxembourg, the Workstream on strengthening information integrity on private messaging platforms was launched in February 2025. The results of this year-long process were released on March 10th during an online webinar addressed to regulators, policy makers, the research community and civil society.

“While increasingly used to spread disinformation and propaganda, private messaging platforms are a blind spot of current regulatory tools and discussion. Their dual nature of private and public space poses complex problems to solve notably when it comes to preserving the right to encryption. We are grateful to the governments of Ukraine, Luxembourg and our knowledge partner the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights for leading us to striking this balance,” explains Camille Grenier, executive director of the Forum on Information and Democracy

Facilitated by FID, the workstream brought together 80 policy makers, civil society experts and researchers from 30 countries over the last few months to discuss the challenges posed by private messaging platforms such as Whatsapp and Telegram. The discussions also built on an international questionnaire addressed to the 57 governments of the Partnership for Information and Democracy.

The discussions underlined the evolving and mixed nature of these platforms, being at the same time spaces for secure private communication while also acting as broadcasting and mass dissemination tools. Their encrypted features combined with their large scale reach pose distinct challenges.

The need for a new approach

As online platforms have traditionally been regulated by platform category, private messaging platforms have either been exempted or application of obligations has been inconsistent and unclear. The report calls for a new approach: regulating platform features and clearly defining public and private communications to take into account the hybrid characteristics of private messaging platforms. This approach enables dealing with coordinated disinformation campaigns on broadcasting features while safeguarding private and encrypted communications.

“This report underscores that no single solution will suffice. While regulatory frameworks must evolve to address the hybrid public-private nature of these platforms, the long-term protection of our information ecosystems hinges on media literacy and societal resilience. We urge all 57 countries of the Partnership for Information and Democracy to carefully study these findings, ” explain Luxembourg and Ukraine.

This new approach includes:

Regulating platform features rather than platform categories reflecting the hybrid nature of private messaging platforms.

Clarifying definitions of “public” and “private” to adapt regulatory obligations and ensure that encryption applies to spaces for which users’ have a legitimate expectation of privacy.

Protecting encryption in private communication and avoiding any obligations that render encryption legally or technically unworkable.

Investing in societal resilience and international cooperation through sustained media literacy, sharing of best practices and development of international standards.

The European Commission’s designation of WhatsApp Channels as a VLOP is a first step in this direction. Further regulatory clarifications, regulatory tools and media literacy strategies are needed to protect information integrity on private messaging platforms.

Report Launch Protecting Information Integrity on Private Messaging Platforms – 10 March

informationdemocracywebsite — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 16:33:11 +0000

The Forum on Information and Democracy is pleased to invite you to the launching webinar of the report of its other workstream on protecting information integrity on private messaging platforms. Led by the governments of Luxembourg and Ukraine over the last 12 months, and involving more than 80 policy makers and civil society representatives from 30 countries, the report provides concrete guidance to States on how to tackle disinformation and inauthentic coordinated behaviour while guaranteeing private encrypted communications on messaging platforms. It was elaborated with the support of NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights, the knowledge partner of the workstream.

Private messaging platforms, such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber & co., have become indispensable tools for private communication, civic coordination and businesses. At the same time, they are spaces of disinformation, foreign information manipulation and inauthentic coordinated behaviour.

Over the last years, these platforms have evolved significantly, moving from private communication to enabling group conversations, large communities, broad casting functions and most recently the integration of artificial intelligence.

This poses great challenges: how to promote information integrity, while safeguarding private encrypted communication?

Join the launch of the report to discover the insights from one year of reflexions and exchanges and country responses and practices.

Ukraine and Luxembourg to lead new workstream on AI and the right to reliable information

informationdemocracywebsite — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 09:24:36 +0000

As generative AI poses new threats to the right to information and election integrity, the governments of Ukraine and Luxembourg announced the creation of a new workstream in the framework of the Partnership for Information and Democracy. This initiative was announced at the launch of the 2026 annual plan of action of the Partnership.

On Thursday 19th, the Forum on Information and Democracy announced its annual plan of action during a meeting gathering representatives from governments, civil society and the research community. The plan comprises a series of international processes and meetings as well as ad hoc initiatives and projects.

“In a deteriorating global landscape for the regulation of our information ecosystems, we are proud to count on the support of our signatory States and community,” explains Camille Grenier, Executive Director. “The 2026 plan of action will lead to direct impact, ensuring best practices are shared amongst different stakeholders to harness the positive potential of technology while respecting democratic principles and human rights.”

Tackling the challenges of AI

As AI keeps posing new threats to information and election integrity, the plan notably includes the launch of a new Workstream on Safeguarding Reliable Information in the Age of AI led by the governments of Ukraine and Luxembourg.

Based on a thorough consultation of signatory States and partners from civil society and research, the workstream will focus on two pillars. First, it will address the disruptive role of AI in the news market and the sustainability of journalism. As AI exacerbates existing challenges in the media’s business model, the workstream will notably seek to counterbalance the power asymmetry between Big Tech and Public Interest Media.

Second, the group will address the misuse of generative AI and its impact on information and election integrity. It will notably seek to create governance and accountability structures to counter the misuse of AI for information manipulation.

From Belém to implementation

The governments of Brazil and Armenia, on their part, will remain committed to their workstream on information integrity on climate change and the environment, launched in February 2025.

The second phase of this workstream will notably include the mapping of policy and regulatory responses in line with the Bélem Declaration on Information Integrity on Climate Change, endorsed by more than 20 Signatory States of the PID, and the recently published 10 priorities to end climate and environmental disinformation.

Through the workstream, FID will work with countries to develop concrete commitments ahead of COP17 on Biodiversity to be held in Armenia and COP31 to be held in Turkey.

New Report: Ten priorities to tackle climate disinformation

informationdemocracywebsite — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 05:00:00 +0000

In its latest report, the Forum on Information and Democracy releases the results of its Workstream on Information Integrity on Climate Change and the Environment. Led by the governments of Brazil and Armenia over the last 12 months, the report notably calls for a reform of digital advertising, the protection of environmental journalists and embedding information integrity within climate and environmental governance.

While latest data shows that the world is off track for the 1.5°C pathway, climate disinformation has become yet another challenge to overcome in the fight against climate change and the preservation of the environment. The new report by the Forum on Information and Democracy proposes concrete steps governments can take to tackle this issue.

“Climate disinformation has increasingly been weaponised for political gain and action from States and relevant stakeholders is urgent. The report of our Workstream on Information Integrity on Climate Change and the Environment outlines clear reforms governments can undertake, in line with the principles outlined in the Partnership for Information and Democracy, notably the right to freedom of opinion and expression.” Camille Grenier, Executive Director, Forum on Information and Democracy

The culmination of a year-long process

In their foreword, the governments of Armenia and Brazil which have co-chaired the workstream since February 2025 highlight the urgency of their mission: “protecting information integrity is not merely a technical challenge but a foundational requirement for democratic governance and effective climate action in the 21st century. This urgency is particularly evident in contexts where environmental stress, societal resilience, and trust in public information are closely intertwined.”

By co-chairing this work facilitated by the Forum on Information and Democracy, both governments have supported an international process which has brought together almost 100 policy makers, researchers and civil society experts from 30 countries to define concrete measures capable of tackling what both the UN and the World Economic Forum have defined as a top threat to humanity.

The workstream held four meetings between February and December 2025. An in-person meeting was held in Yerevan, Armenia in May and first results were presented on the margins of COP30 in Belém where most countries participating in the workstream endorsed the Belém Declaration for Information Integrity on Climate Change.

A Comprehensive approach to tackle climate disinformation

The report highlights that information ecosystems are characterised by climate and environmental disinformation, repression, and restricted access to environmental data. Citizens report that it is more and more difficult to distinguish between accurate and false information on climate change on social media while environmental journalists who investigate and report on these issues face increasing threats and harassment.

It presents a comprehensive roadmap for governments to support the production of reliable information which include the effective protection of environmental journalists and defenders, reforming the digital advertising market and economic incentives driving disinformation and strengthening platform’s accountability.

The report also recommends strengthening and empowering the different networks of actors working on information integrity, notably by expanding research and building institutional capacity and multilateral coordination.

Towards COP17 on Biodiversity and COP31 on Climate Change

Focusing on concrete policies governments can undertake, the workstream is complementary to other efforts led in the field, including the Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change led by Brazil, UNESCO and the UN.

After the success of COP30 in Belém, the workstream will feed into other international high-level conferences such as COP17 on Biodiversity to be hosted by Armenia in October 2026 and COP31 in Turkey.

Translating these recommendations into concrete measures at the national level is a joint objective of both the workstream and the Global Initiative and first results are already being observed in countries such as Armenia, Brazil, Belgium, France. FID is currently mapping policy measures governments are taking and will publish a second report in 2026.

Main recommendations

Embed information integrity directly within climate and environmental governance frameworks, recognising that climate action cannot be achieved without access to reliable information.
Reform digital advertising and economic incentives to disrupt the monetization of environmental disinformation.
Enhance transparency and corporate accountability to expose vested interests, counter greenwashing, and regulate environmental claims.
Protect environmental journalists and defenders as the basis for an informed public debate and accountability.

Strengthening regulatory and platform accountability ensuring that such spaces contribute to access to reliable information and are held responsible for their systems.

Reinforcing media freedom, sustainability, and high-quality environmental journalism as a public good.

Improving science communication, data integrity, and digital inclusion to ensure universal access to reliable environmental information.
Advancing environmental and media literacy to build societal resilience to disinformation.
Expanding research, monitoring, and shared methodologies on environmental disinformation and to influence operations.
Building institutional capacity and multilateral coordination,aligning national efforts with international initiatives such as the Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change.

Information integrity at COP30, what’s next to implement the Declaration?

informationdemocracywebsite — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 14:20:36 +0000

The States of the Partnership for Information and Democracy and the Forum’s civil society Coalition gathered for an online meeting of the workstream on information integrity, climate change and environmental issues under the leadership of Armenia and Brazil on 11 December 2025. The meeting served to present COP30 outcomes and explore next steps to ensure that commitments are transformed into actions.

Landmark decisions at COP30 on information integrity

Introducing new language into COP outcomes is rare. Under Brazil’s leadership COP30 managed to do just that: recognising the vital role that information integrity plays to promote actions to fight climate change. The Brazilian representative highlighted that COP30 may ultimately be remembered as the “COP of truth,” given the prominence of debates around disinformation, denial, and trust in science.

Representatives from the Brazilian government, UN and UNESCO presented the outcomes which include the Declaration on Information Integrity on Climate Change and an action agenda on information integrity. The agenda foresees expanding the Global Initiative, increasing research, supporting countries in developing new policies on information integrity and securing adoption of the Declaration by more countries.

The Armenian delegate congratulated Brazil for their efforts and announced Armenia’s endorsement of the Declaration, bringing the number of signatories to 22 countries.

Insights from the private sector and civil society to transform commitments into actions

Collaborative approaches, involving government, private sector and civil society are essential in tackling the multifaceted challenges the information ecosystem poses to climate action. The renewable energies sector is itself a victim of disinformation campaigns, notably solutions denialism. The sector can be an important ally in the fight against such disinformation, raising awareness on its impact, mobilising the industry and working in partnership with local communities to provide access to reliable information.

Civil society is also a crucial actor given its capacities to do research and its connections with the communities on the ground. Democracia em Xeque presented the experience of the Brazilian national chapter that mobilised 131 organisations from all regions of the country working jointly on 6 pillars of action to produce both analytical outputs and practical tools that were presented to the government. The Brazilian government encouraged other Signatories of the PID to establish similar national chapters.

Implementing the Declaration on Information Integrity on Climate Change

FID will be systematically mapping how States are addressing information integrity through policy, regulation, and institutional arrangements. A questionnaire addressed to PID Signatory States is intended to identify trends, strategies, and regulatory approaches, and to support the development of stronger legal and policy frameworks aligned with national strategic planning processes.

It directly supports the objectives of the COP Action Agenda and its objective 30. This mapping effort will provide crucial insights to inform COP17 to be held in Armenia in 2026.

Information integrity at COP30: unpacking historic achievements

informationdemocracywebsite — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 09:28:19 +0000

During COP30, a first group of States committed to promoting Information Integrity on Climate Change, and called for coordinated efforts by the international community, civil society and the private sector to guarantee reliable, transparent information on the climate. The Forum on Information and Democracy welcomes this milestone and invites more States to join this effort.

For the first time, the fight against climate disinformation was on the agenda of the COP30 hosted by Brazil in Belém from 12 to 21 November. Among the many discussions and deliverables, a first group of 12 countries committed to protect science-based information as the foundation of climate action through the Declaration on Information Integrity on Climate Change. Since then 9 other countries have joined the movement.

This Declaration notably calls on various stakeholders to take concrete actions to preserve information integrity on climate change such as:

For governments, to “Create and implement policies and legal frameworks aligned with international human rights law that promote information integrity on climate change, and respect, protect and promote human rights; and ensure the safety of environmental journalists and other public voices;”
For the private sector, to “Commit to the integrity of information on climate change in their business practices;”
For civil society and academia, to “Integrate information integrity on climate change in their work.”

“We welcome the launch of this first Declaration which brings together interconnected risks for humanity: the fight against climate change and for better information ecosystems, said Camille Grenier. Still, we desperately need to move beyond declarations of good intentions and implement concrete measures. In the coming months, our dedicated workstream will build on the Declaration to further develop concrete national plans of action for each signatory.”

This outcome builds on the Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change led by UNESCO, the UN and the Government of Brazil. As a member of the Advisory Group of this Initiative, the Forum on Information and Democracy has contributed to drafting the Declaration and ensuring topics such as media sustainability and safety of journalists are included in the final draft.

FID’s contribution notably built on the first recommendations of its workstream on Strengthening Information Integrity on Climate Change and other Environmental Issues, co-led by the Governments of Armenia and of Brazil. Since February 2025, this workstream has brought together governments, researchers and civil society to define structural solutions that ensure the balance between regulation and freedom of expression.

The organization is committed to promoting this text amongst the signatory States of the International Partnership for Information and Democracy, and hope that it will be followed by concrete measures at the international, national and local levels.

The first signatory States of the Declaration are:

Armenia

Austria

Belgium

Brazil

Canada

Chile

Czechia

Denmark

Estonia

Finland

France

Germany

Iceland

Luxembourg

Netherlands

Norway

Poland

Portugal

Slovenia

The evolving nature of private messaging platforms and its impact on information integrity

informationdemocracywebsite — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 14:51:32 +0000

On November 6, 2025, the Partnership for Information and Democracy held the fourth and last meeting of its workstream on “Strengthening Information Integrity on Private Messaging Platforms”, led by Ukraine and Luxembourg. The discussion explored the latest evolutions of these platforms: the integration of artificial intelligence and advertising and its impact on information integrity.

Based on one year of in-depth discussions, research and a questionnaire among States of the Partnership for Information and Democracy, the meeting was the occasion to present the draft structure and highlights of the forthcoming policy report to gather feedback. Private messaging platforms pose distinct challenges in terms of fighting disinformation given their semi-private nature. They also occupy a regulatory gray zone, in most cases being excluded from online platform regulation. Therefore, media literacy is the most consistent policy response. Regulators have also not yet found a balance between encryption and accountability.

The monetisation of disinformation

As private messaging platforms are evolving, incorporating more and more features of social media platforms, providers have also started to introduce advertising, which is the case of WhatsApp, Viber and Telegram. However, when platforms that aim to make profit introduce advertising in specific features, they will modify their designs and systems to encourage user engagement on these features, leading to addictive design choices that compromise content quality. The lack of transparency of the ad chain makes it difficult, even for well intended advertisers, not to finance disinformation.

Artificial intelligence threatening encryption

Originally conceived for interpersonal communication, some of these platforms now enable to ask questions to an integrated artificial intelligence. AI capabilities range from a chatbot, to summaries and image generation, depending on the platform and country it is deployed in. Yet, AI mainly functions through shared models that the platform has to interact with, opening cybersecurity and encryption risks. Platforms need to be transparent about these new functions, their implications for encryption and empower users to decide if they want to interact with them.

Next steps

The insights of the workstream will be summarised in a final policy report with concrete policy and regulatory recommendations addressed to States and platforms.

Stay tuned for a publication in early 2026!

Ahead of COP30, the Forum on Information and Democracy presents structural solutions to combat climate disinformation

informationdemocracywebsite — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 04:42:00 +0000

Since February 2025, the Forum on Information and Democracy has been leading a workstream on climate disinformation and other environmental issues. Co-chaired by Brazil and Armenia which will host the COP 17 on biodiversity in 2026, this group is releasing its first findings just days before the launch of COP30 in Belém.

As calls to combat climate disinformation grow louder, the Forum on Information and Democracy is publishing the interim report of its Workstream on information integrity regarding climate change and other environmental issues.

“Environmental and climate disinformation is not only a challenge for the future of our planet; it is also a political and democratic issue,” explains Camille Grenier, Executive Director of the Forum. “In Brazil, Spain, and France, this kind of disinformation is systematically used to discredit opponents, the media, and science.”

Launched in February 2025, in direct connection with the Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change led by Brazil, the United Nations, and UNESCO, the Forum’s workstream has brought together dozens of representatives from democratic states, civil society experts, and researchers.

This interim report outlines key priorities to effectively address this widespread phenomenon:

Ensure the safety of environmental journalists and the sustainability of public-interest media, which represent the strongest safeguard against disinformation.
Improve platform transparency and accountability mechanisms, notably by accelerating the implementation of the Digital Services Act (DSA) in Europe.
Promote access to reliable information by requiring platforms to deploy mechanisms that encourage the visibility and pluralism of trustworthy information.
Curb advertising that finances climate disinformation, in particular by ensuring greater transparency in the online advertising market.
Strengthen research on these issues and support research efforts to better understand the mechanisms, sources, and methods of climate disinformation.

For the first time, climate disinformation will feature on the agenda of the COP organized by Brazil. Camille Grenier will present these initial findings during several sessions held on November 12 and 13.
