On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” the Federalist Co-Founder Sean Davis stated that the Federalist never got any notice from Google over the threatened demonetizing of the site, it appears NBC “partnered with a foreign left-wing group in Europe to go after us and to use Google to go after us.” And vowed that the site’s comments section will return.
Davis said, “We never got any formal notice from Google. We never got any notice from their ad team. We learned about this from NBC News, from the reporter, Ms. Fraser, who emailed a general info account at the Federalist. She didn’t email me or my partners or my founders, saying hey, we heard that Google demonetized you, what do you think about that? And it’s at that point where we started reaching out to connections that we have at Google and found out that it turns out, yeah, something was going on there, but it wasn’t what NBC or Ms. Fraser had said. In fact, it looks like NBC, the network that coddled Harvey Weinstein and Matt Lauer by the way, had partnered with a foreign left-wing group in Europe to go after us and to use Google to go after us. And as of now, since we have temporarily removed our comments sections, I can assure you they will be back, we are back in Google’s good graces. But this is a pretty terrifying example of the power that you have between the unholy union of corrupt media and monopolistic tech oligarchs.”

The name of the group is in the news reports. Center for something something. Never heard of them before.
Google kicked ZeroHedge off its ad platform, put The Federalist on notice for racist protest content
...The Center for Countering Digital Hate, a British watchdog group.
Looks like it’s the UK. Shades of Spygate.
It’s more like the Russia hoax and genuine foreign interference in our elections.
KATIE HOPKINS BAN | WHO ARE THE “CENTER FOR COUNTERING DIGITAL HATE”?
BTTT.
Odd that this only became their "concern" when NBC urged them to do it. I guess they don't notice problems with "racist" commenters on websites unless NBC brings their attention to it.
Seems as if it was a problem for advertisers, the advertisers would be the ones complaining, not the competition.
I hope they get an anti-trust prosecution dropped on them. No company deserves it more.
Google has been told by the advertisers what they do and don't want.
If it reaches the point where the advertisers have to complain Google isn't doing it's job protecting them.
If this were true, they wouldn't need NBC to go looking for undesirable content. The advertisers would have told them where they didn't want their ads to run.
This is a lie to justify what they want to do.
And the Federalist comments is chock full of leftist idiots spewing their vomit incessantly, so diversity of views is certainly not an issue. But diversity isn’t good enough as long as there are conservative voices being expressed.
