The team of graduate research assistant Eric Zeng, Professor Tadayoshi Kohno, and Associate Professor Franziska Roesner in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering, presented "Bad News: Clickbait and Deceptive Ads on News and Misinformation Websites" at the Workshop on Technology and Consumer Protection.
They discuss their research, where ads on news sites come from, and how things might change leading up to the presidential election in an interview.
