Google Ads Blocks GOP Candidate Marsha Blackburn Video (Election Meddling!)

Conservative Firing Line ^ | October 31, 2018 | Faye Higbee

Is blocking truth censorship? Google Ads blocked Tennessee GOP candidate Marsha Blackburn from releasing a campaign ad for Google search users because the “content didn’t meet Google standards.” The 30 second ad titled “Stop the Mob” showed protesters screaming during a moment of silence for the victims of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, and a protester kicking a cameraman. She also had a 15 second ad.

According to the Daily Caller,

Google Ads, an online advertising platform, would not allow the Tennessee Republican’s campaign for Senate promote two campaign videos as search ads because the content doesn’t meet Google’s standards, according to an email sent to the campaign.

Silicon Valley trying to shadow ban GOP ads.

They’re desperate.

Is anyone actually surprised by this?

I mean, at this point the tech giants aren't even trying to hide it anymore.

[Figment]

They can ban all they want, it won’t save Bredesen. Senator Marsha Blackburn has a nice ring to it

[goldstategop]

They want to hide from voters the bigoted and violent face of the Democrat Party.

Ad standards, indeed.

Shouldn’t all good Americans be upset that a little group is deciding which political opinions and candidates the people are allowed to find out about?

The alleged freedom of the press and alleged freedom of political assembly and alleged freedom of speech are all decided by nerdy freaks who happened to start Facebook,Twitter,Google, Instagram, et al. Who made them God? Isn’t that what Communist China does to dissident thought shown on searches?

They’ll say William F. Buckley and the Charles Krauthammer were out of control Nazi white supremacist hate speech purveyors and not allow us to Google search, buy on Amazon,use a credit card to buy their books,use FedEx to mail them, or even for us to tweet opinions about them. Some free country.

When telling the truth becomes provocative...

[FatherofFive]

Google is evil. Unfortunately I have an iPhone, and Siri is powered by Google

[goldstategop]

Mobs not Jobs is powerful.

The Left is running scared and all they can do is to try to hide the truth and toss the usual insults.

Democrats are running on empty.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Yep.

[eyeamok]

Maybe we need to enact a Law against this sort of monopolistic behavior, we can call it Anti Trust Law.

They began this conspiracy within a week after the 2016 election.

Silicon biggie & pervboy Dave McClure pitched a fit on stage at an international tech gathering the day after the election and vowed to "make sure" that great politicians like President Trump never got elected.

McClure: "We [Silicon Valley] provide communications platforms for the rest of the country, and we are allowing s**t to happen..."

"...It's our duty and our responsibility as entrepreneurs, as citizens of the f**king world, to make sure that s**t does not happen [people like Trump taking office]..."

Planning amongst many players, and execution.

It's a conspiracy.

I’m actually very glad that the Democrats have no clue that “bitching and wailing” isn’t something people vote for.

And that is their ENTIRE “platform.”

[tcrlaf]

There are going to be lawsuits galore after this election, but the tech giants know they will never pay a SINGLE PENNY if Dems win the house. And they are betting they will.

[Sasparilla]

Google only exercises standards for conservative voices. Otherwise, anything goes.

Google is way past the point we should have burned it to the ground. There is no nastier more evil corporation in existence than that modern day stasi quasi-state.

The people who run it need to be tossed in jail, it's assets need to be broken up, and whatever is left of it needs to be forced to carry all traffic that the public puts forth.

[DiogenesLamp]

I'm not sure that's even legal. It seems to me I recall there is a federal law requiring companies to carry ads for anyone seeking a federal office. They don't have a right to turn it down if it follows Federal election law. I believe so long as the candidate endorses it, it cannot be denied on the basis of content.

Perhaps someone else knows more on this subject, but that's something I seem to recall from what I have learned over the years.

[hinckley buzzard]

Google Ads, a neoNazi operation, has conspired to stifle free speech once again.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Time to take Google to court. Someone must have “standing” to show that Google’s “selective censorship” is causing harm to innocent people.

All you need is one damned good lawyer and 12 affected people for a class action lawsuit.

Get it filed before the elections and left Google crap in their leftist little boy’s pants.
