Just to be very clear—Zero Hedge had articles.
Google had no issue with their articles.
Individuals posted comments—some of them crazy.
Zero Hedge did not censor the comments.
Google demanded the comments be censored.
No they didn't.
They just said "Our advertisers don't want their ads running in a cesspool. You're free to operate a cesspool, just don't expect to use our platform to make money off of it."
“Individuals posted comments—some of them crazy.”
Which was one of the reasons I go there on a daily basis.
Many ways around the censorship, anyhow.
