This past week, UK riots fuelled by online hate speech and xenophobia have deeply concerned us at CAN, conflicting with our values. Conscious Advertising Network exist to counter this! We believe in the power of breaking the economic link between advertising and the harmful content that divides communities. The choices we make as advertisers significantly impact society, and it is crucial that they align with our corporate values. What CAN is doing: 📢 We are ready to engage with the new government and Ofcom to urgently review the Online Safety Act which, while important, took too long and is woefully inadequate to deal with this level of disinformation and hate fomented on and offline. 🌐 We are in touch with our civil society partners and supporting or advising them where appropriate. 🌍 CAN will continue to engage with the United Nations on its United Global Principles for Information Integrity, which our advice helped to create. The United Global Principles for Information Integrity highlight how technological advances have enabled the spread of misinformation, disinformation and hate speech at an unprecedented volume, velocity and virality, risking the integrity of the information ecosystem. What YOU can do: 📋 Review your misinformation policy and audit site lists to avoid funding hate or misinformation. 🫂 Support team members from global majority backgrounds; resources like NABS offer mental wellness support. 🔍 Check your keyword block list to avoid defunding quality journalism or misinformation coverage. 🛡️ Ask platform reps about their measures for brand safety and information integrity. 📚 Refer to CAN’s manifestos for guidance and contact the CAN team with any questions. The Conscious Advertising Network (CAN) is a UK-based international coalition of over 180 advertisers, agencies, tech providers and civil society groups. We’re breaking the economic link between advertising and the harmful content that divides communities, excludes diverse voices, exploits children, and undermines scientific consensus. Our 7 manifestos guide our mission to ensure advertising integrity and to encourage systemic changes within the industry. Read them here: https://lnkd.in/e5dB2_NB Contact hello@consciousadnetwork.org for guidance and information on our free membership. We’re here to support and ensure quality information is incentivised while harmful content is demonetised. #ConsciousAdvertising #InformationIntegrity #OnlineSafety #HumanRights #Misinformation #Disinformation #QualityJournalism #UNGP #AntiRacism #HateSpeech #Transparency #ResponsibleMarketing #TogetherWeCan

About us
A voluntary coalition of over 180 members, ensuring the industry ethics catch up with the technology of modern advertising. Our ambition is that: 1. Ad fraud should be eradicated. 2. The industry and content it produces should be as diverse as we are. 3. Neither hate speech nor misinformation should be funded by brands. 4. Consent should be informed and people seen as active participants in their online experience. 5. As forms of advertising to or around children evolve, so should the safeguards to their wellbeing. CAN is funded philanthropically, has no government involvement and has been entirely produced by volunteers from across the whole advertising eco system. #TogetherWeCAN

"The environment for a lot of this dangerous speech is incentivised algorithmically as a core part of the business models of these platforms. Those platforms should be accountable to reduce the harm that is caused." Impress CEO Lexie Kirkconnell-Kawana recently spoke to Naked Politics on the role the media has played in rising extremism across the UK. In the interview with Banseka Kayembe, Lexie gave her thoughts on social media regulation, the effectiveness of the Online Safety Act and how bolstering public news literacy could help avoid these scenes in the future.

Did you know that while disabled people make up a significant portion of the UK population, they're only seen in 4% of advertising? Channel 4, Bupa, and Purple Goat Agency have joined forces to launch a compelling campaign running throughout the Paralympic Games coverage that encourages the ad industry to prioritize the representation of disabled people long after the games conclude. This initiative is a significant step towards creating a more inclusive advertising landscape. It includes a comprehensive digital handbook that provides best practice tips and resources for brands and marketers to improve their representation of disabled individuals. The partnership also offers a training program, and six in-person workshops designed to equip marketers with the tools to enhance inclusivity in their advertising strategies. Read more about this initiative here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ecHiQseM To find out more about how to ensure the content we create is as diverse as the society we serve, read our diversity manifesto: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ei-_T9Yv #InclusiveAdvertising #Accessibility #Representation #ParalympicLegacy

Are you thinking of becoming a CAN member? In our most recent member survey, we found that 76% of our member organisations joined because of their commitment to breaking the link between advertising and harmful content. Today’s state of affairs shows the need for change in the way we advertise more than ever. That change needs to start within our organisations and agencies. Our manifestos support advertisers in taking action to defund harmful and deceptive content and assess their internal policies. Trust is imperative in this ever-concerning landscape. Our work with our members aims to build that trust and put an end to harmful content. If you would like to become a member, email us at hello@consciousadnetwork.org #TogetherWeCAN #Consciousadvertising #Advertisingethics

Every single woman I know has had to deal with some form of this online. And women of colour have it even worse. As advertisers, we should be making informed decisions about the content we're funding. And we need the platforms to strengthen their policies and enforcement. If you're worried about your brand versus the manosphere, get in touch with us at the Conscious Advertising Network. #Hate #Advertising
Digital platforms are enabling and profiting from the manosphere’s extreme misogyny. Check out our explainer to learn more about the groups under the manosphere & how their toxic ideology can lead to real-life violence.⤵️ #Manosphere #Misogyny #OnlineHate
