Snopes.com has been thought of as a reputable and trusted site for fact-checking.
From 2016 to 2022, the original mom-and-pop owners were sued out of their company in what was described as a “hostile takeover”.
Snopes is now owned as a for-profit “programmatic advertising business”.
They already had sources which pointed to nothing.
The claims are baseless. I welcome an actual source for their claim - the only response was “But they had an ad company!”.
Meaningless relative to claims.
