Breitbart.com reports “Earlier today, NBC reported that Google confirmed it financially blacklisted two sites known for criticism of the left: conservative commentary site the Federalist and alternative news site ZeroHedge. Following its publication, NBC amended its article to state that the Federalist has been “warned” by Google of imminent blacklisting from its Google Ads service due to “policy violations” in its comments section. ZeroHedge is also working with Google to resolve its blacklisting, which is also based on its comments section.
If the Federalist fails to remedy what Google considers to be violations in its comments section, both websites will now be unable to generate advertising revenue using Google Ads, by far the most important service for any website trying to generate digital advertising revenue. In a comment to Breitbart News, the Federalist confirmed it has not been blacklisted and is working with Google to resolve any issues. In a seperate comment, ZeroHedge also stated it is working with the tech giant.” You can read the rest of the article from Breitbart here.
This is yet another example of the left conspiring with its allies in the tech industry to silence speech on the right. They say it is just about the comments section and “hate speech” or “threatening speech”. But Google does not even police its own comments section well at all. I have seen the most atrocious and hate filled comments and threats remain indefinitely on YouTube and on other sites with ads and as long as it is hatred directed toward the right, they are cool with it.
