Verity7 was founded in 2024 as a domestic US 501c4 nonprofit. Andrew V. Edwards, our founder, is a co-founder and Director Emeritus of the Digital Analytics Association. He has been a digital marketer and digital traffic analyst since 2002. He is the author of Digital is Destroying Everything (2015) and Army of Liars (2024), which is about disinformation in social media. The firm provides educational resources and advocacy regarding disinformation and Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act.
Advocacy: we speak at public venues about Section 230 and its effect upon the body politic. Here is a LINK to our presentation “Truth Matters” about the social media landscape, its technology, its effects and the laws that support it.
Our Issues: We believe that the defeat of Section 230 is key to bringing back truth in media. Social media platforms like Meta, X and YouTube have no disincentive to block disinformation. Worse, their algorithms promote it for profit.
