Googleâs latest move is to censor online content moving through itâs various channels; search, video which is âcontroversialâ.
You can see it in black and white above.
This site, and other onliners such as WSWS have experienced exclusion from the index, or severe penalties. On the other side of the fence, in the world of YouTube, many publishers whose livelihood is based on the forum through and itâs many subscribers, have found content âdemonetizedâ.
Even posters whose content has nothing to do with controversy, light entertainment channels may find theyâre getting censored if they donât present their information in the right way.
In many cases Google is simply targetted the individuals. Removing their content wholesale, whether itâs breaching guidelines or not.
Judgement has been cast Google refused to monetize my YouTube content many years ago. They said I was running a âclick-scamâ, the truth is, Google Adwords only pays publishers for a PERCENTAGE of the click-thruâs they get on their site. Some clicks donât get registered at all. When youâre making money from BILLIONS of clicks a day, thatâs a lot of money.
I know this, having been a publisher since 2003/2004 when Adwords first came out and I started running the program. I ran it for over 7 yearsâ¦. Anyway, another storyâ¦..
