Google targets low-income US women with ads for anti-abortion pregnancy centers, study shows
While pregnancy crisis centers offer pregnant women resources such as diapers and pregnancy testing, they have also been known to employ a number of shady tactics to convince women seeking an abortion to keep their pregnancies. Those include posing as abortion clinics online though they do not offer abortion care, refusing pregnancy tests for women who say they intend to have an abortion and touting widely disputed research about abortion care to patients. Crisis centers, which go largely unregulated despite offering medical services, have been known to target low-income women precisely because they find it harder to travel out of state for abortion care…
Last year, Google came under fire after a Tech Transparency Project investigation found the company was serving people with ads for pregnancy crisis centers suggesting they offer abortions even though they do not – violating the platform's own rules on misleading advertisements…

Stephen Miller's racist ads accuse Joe Biden of being anti-white
Like so many political ads, these from Miller's group are flat-out wrong. The Washington Post's Fact Checker gives the commercials three Pinocchios (its designation for any claim that has "Significant factual error and/or obvious contradictions"). Using clever language, chopped up out-of-context sentences by Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the ads are, as the newspaper points out, a "disingenuous stew that claim the Biden administration and liberals are harming Whites with policies intended to deal with racial inequities, such as minority communities being more affected by the coronavirus pandemic." FactCheck.org also points out that the claims about the alleged "anti-white" policies and statements don't hold up...

Stephen Miller group’s radio ads accuses Biden of ‘racism’ towards white Americans - POLITICO
The claim that Harris said non-white citizens should be prioritized for disaster relief has been mischaracterized, according to fact checks.

Facebook removes Trump campaign ads with misleading claims about refugees
On Wednesday the social media platform took down the Trump-sponsored advertisements which claimed, without evidence, that accepting refugees would increase Americans’ risk of Covid-19. The ad, which featured a video of Joe Biden talking about the border and asylum seekers, claimed, also without evidence, that the Democratic candidate’s policies would increase the number of refugees from Syria, Somalia and Yemen by “700%”. More than 38 versions of the ad were run on Facebook and were seen by hundreds of thousands of people before the company removed them.
