Googles restrictions on political advertising will go into effect worldwide on January 6th. Its rules limit advertisers from targeting people based on public voter records or political affiliation, but Google will still allow geo-targeted political ads, and political ads targeted to demographics like age and gender. Googles new rules are likely to have a significant impact on political ads; since May 31st, 2018, the company has run more than $155 million in political ads in the US (the leading spender as of this writing is former New York Mayor Michael Bloombergs 2020 campaign).

These companies betray their duty to allow open discussion regarding elections.
What really bothers them, is the disgusting record the demoncRats have to run on.
Heck, what choice do they have other than to ban their records?
Not a one of them seems to have a record clean enough to be proud of.

Trump has the most cash for ads.
So leftist management refuses ads.
Shareholders should sue.

Seems like grounds here for the GOP to refusal donations from Big Tech and hang up on their lobbyists. That won’t be happening, of course, because the GOP is just fine with this censorship as long as Trump 2020 is the target.
