EXCLUSIVE — The multinational software company Oracle is cutting ties with the DisinfoIndex, a StateDept-funded group that the dcexaminer revealed has been secretly blacklisting conservative media outlets.
"After conducting a review, we agree with others in the advertising industry that the services we provide marketers must be in full support of free speech, which is why we are ending our relationship with GDI," Michael Egbert, vice president for corporate communications at Oracle, said in a statement on Wednesday to the Washington Examiner.
"Offering an additional layer of brand protection to marketers, GDI’s risk rating analysis powers a new Oracle Contextual Intelligence safety segment for potentially false information," the statement continued."Marketers can opt in to use the segment to block the domains categorized as high-risk for disinformation and avoid targeting these sites for ads moving forward."
A spokesperson for Microsoft said the investigation is ongoing and that they aim to provide information about it soon. It's unclear whether or not the review will result in the relationship between the two entities being severed for good. A lawyer for GDI claimed in an April 6 letter to the Washington Examiner that it was redacting its tax forms due to federal regulations on"harassment" campaigns against tax-exempt entities. Several attorneys specializing in tax-exempt law, including the National Legal and Policy Center's Paul Kamenar, said federal law does not allow organizations to redact tax forms provided to the public.
