Google boots far-correct web page from ad platform
17 June, 2020
Google on Tuesday confirmed that it booted one far-right web-site from its ad system and place another on find for hosting "dangerous and derogatory" comments about civil rights protests.
The web giant said that it stopped channeling money-making advertisings to ZeroHedge and warned The Federalist that it too could possibly be blocked from Google Ads for violating policy about content.
“To be clear, The Federalist isn't presently demonetized," a Google spokesperson said in response to an AFP inquiry.
"We do possess strict publisher policies that govern the content ads can operate on, which comes with comments on the site. This is a longstanding policy."
The action against ZeroHedge and warning sent to The Federalist related to content in comments sections that constantly violated Google's policy about dangerous and derogatory content, according to the internet company.
The offending content was linked to false info on recent Black Lives Subject protests, US media reported.
ZeroHedge said in a good post at the website that it's appealing Google's decision and expects to "cure" the situation.
The policy at issue was set up by Google three years ago as part of an effort in order to avoid advertisers from having their advertising messages appear subsequent to vile or hateful content online.
