evidence: There is an article circulating social media claiming that Samsung is pulling out of its billion-dollar advertising deal with the IOC. Samsung has made no such statement and the article was originally published on a fake news site. An article published in Esspots on 28 July states that Samsung Electronics has issued a press release announcing the end of its multi-billion advertising campaign for the Olympics. Esspots calls itself a channel for satire and false information. According to the channel, Samsung justifies the withdrawal of the campaign by saying that the values of the Olympics, which prevailed at the opening ceremony, are no longer in line with those of the company. [...] Samsung has not made any official press release announcing dropping out of advertising at the Olympics. Samsung has been a sponsor of the Olympics since 1988 and an official partner since 1998. The global partnership in force today will continue through to 2028.
