Google Sharpens Its Censorship Knives — Labels Trump Praise As ‘Dangerous’

[Geee]

Issues & Insights

We recently discovered that Google’s ad-serving network is blocking its ads from appearing on a story we published almost exactly three years ago.

Google declared that the article violated its terms of service because it contained “Dangerous or derogatory content,” which it defines as anything that:

• incites hatred against, promotes discrimination of, or disparages an individual or group on the basis of their race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or other characteristic that is associated with systemic discrimination or marginalization.
• harasses, intimidates, or bullies an individual or group of individuals.
• threatens or advocates for harm to oneself or others.
• relates to a current, major health crisis and contradicts authoritative, scientific consensus.
• exploits others through extortion.

Pretty raunchy stuff, in other words.

So what was the article that it flagged? “Trump’s Top-10 Triumphs: A Last Look At A Remarkable Presidency.”
