YouTube, which is part of Google, had already deleted LifeSite’s YouTube account several weeks ago.
February 23, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Internet giant Google has barred LifeSiteNews from its AdSense advertising program as well as its Discover and News surfaces, citing alleged “dangerous or derogatory content” the company declined to identify.
On February 20, LifeSite received an email notifying us that LifeSiteNews “is not currently in compliance with our AdSense Program policies and as a result, ad serving has been disabled on your site.”
Google claims LifeSite published “dangerous or derogatory content,” though did not produce examples to support that claim.
Instead, it included a generic notice that the company forbids content 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”; or “exploits others through extortion.”
The email did not produce examples of LifeSite violating any of these conditions, either.
