As of July 2024, Google will update its Political Content Policy to require advertisers to disclose election ads containing synthetic or digitally altered content that inauthentically depicts real or realistic-looking people or events.
Advertisers must select a checkbox in the “Altered or synthetic content” section in their campaign settings. For specific formats such as mobile feeds, Shorts, and in-stream ads, Google will generate an in-ad disclosure. For other formats, advertisers must provide their own clear and conspicuous disclosure, with acceptable language, including phrases like “Altered or synthetic content” or “This image does not depict real events.”
