A clickable link --> Google de-monetizes pioneering Christian news site WND
That could end up cutting WND's online ad revenue roughly in half, since not only does de-monetization mean the removal of all Google ads, but the removal of ads from alternate advertising services as well, since many of these companies utilize Google Ad Manager to serve their ads.
Previously I said Google/Alphabet ought to be forced to divest YouTube, since Google's financial resources and server capacity give YT a huge QoS advantage over competing streaming platforms -- perhaps add antitrust for their advertising services to the docket.
So, what did WND do to merit such a punishment? ... According to Google's "Violation Explanation," WND is loaded down with "dangerous or derogatory content," as well as "misrepresentative content" and "unreliable and harmful claims."
The usual vague bullshit -- note it's Google making a determination about whether a site's content is suitable for ads -- this is not a decision by advertisers, who may actually suffer as a result -- so I think Google would have a hard time justifying such decisions in court as anything other than political.
Personally I use a very effective ad-blocker, but would have whitelisted WND had I visited the site more often.
YEP. "dangerous or derogatory content," as well as "misrepresentative content" and "unreliable and harmful claims."
A man has a penis and testicles and woman has neither but a vagina. Very controversial.
