To be fair, I assume that a lot of Google advertisers would not want their ad next to that. So while it smacks of censorship (and it may be) there are also a lot of valid reasons to stop the ads. Google has to sorta police their ad partners' content.
I'm sure Google studied the numbers and not worth the taint. Google also removed a while back ads from domain parking and controversial content always is a checkbox away from being left ad-less.
There's tons of extreme left wing content out there too, Google never seems to care about that.
I think the problem is that the left cancels, the right doesn't. So it's always the left attacking and it's always the right being attacked, but never attacking back. Doesn't seem stable or sustainable: this is how countries end up being taken over by communist revolutions run by extreme minorities.
> So it's always the left attacking and it's always the right being attacked, but never attacking back.
Please tell me this is satire. Because I don't think being calling eachothers bullshit out on the internet is an issue. The problems begin when people take actions on it. You talk about 'attacking' but I can give you 2 examples from 2019 where right-wing extremists literally attacked. Those ideas were perpetuated in right-wing echochambers and eventually led to the deaths of many.
- Christchurch mosque shootings
- El Paso shooting
Both had right-wing extremist motivations, citing garbage such as 'the Great Replacement'.
But yeah, go ahead and crawl into the victim role because we don't want to read racist bullshit.
I'm not talking about incredibly rare events like shootings, which are at any rate a very US centric problem. I'm talking about social dynamics around the world, the sort of more mundane 'attacks' that happen every day and in many societies.
How many conservatives have threatened firms by mobbing their advertisers?
How many people have conservatives got fired for expressing mild left wing views?
How many statues have they torn down?
How many forums have they de-platformed?
How many of them have refused to take part in a debate because another participant disagreed with them?
This sort of thing happens all the time and it's very conspicuously always the same sort of people doing it.
