Beginning in September, Google plans to block firearm, ammunition, and gun accessory ads.

According to Google Support's "Dangerous Products or Services" page, the company "[wants] to keep people safe both online and offline, so [they] won't allow the promotion of some products or services that cause damage, harm, or injury."

Included in the dangerous products for which ads will be blocked are "Guns & Parts." This covers "functional devices that appear to discharge a projectile at high velocity, whether for sport, self-defense, or combat."

Further from the article:

Also included is a ban on ads for "any part or component that's necessary to the function of a gun or intended for attachment to a gun." This covers "gun scopes, ammunition, ammunition clips or belts."

The ban will also halt ads for "dangerous knives... throwing stars, brass knuckles, [and] crossbows," among other things.

Google Support says the ads that will be banned "are subject to change."

I think I'm getting sick and tired of Google. Maybe I'll drop them a line and let them know I'm calling it Quitsville with them.

“Dangerous Products or Services”

Guess that includes lying media...ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, NYT, LAT, etc...

I think they still fall into the category of “services”?

All the mass-shooting cranks took them.

IMHO, Google is on a slippery slope. Good luck to them /s. In the mean time I’ll continue using search engines other than Google:

Start Page

Duck Duck Go

Dog Pile

Ixquick

Etc.

every company that finds its business website blocked should join in Class Action lawsuits against Google .
Google is very wealthy , there are countless billions of $ to be squeezed from them over this one . Bring it on ...ca-ching!

[broken_clock]

Yep. Screw google. i haven’t used them in years.

[isthisnickcool]

Google should have been sued in to oblivion early on unless they PAID every web site they indexed $$$ for their property. They built their company on other peoples sweat.

[Misterioso]

Bing?
