Google bans website ZeroHedge from its ad platform over comments on protest articles

 

Google has banned ZeroHedge, a far-right website that often traffics in conspiracy theories, from its advertising platform over policy violations found in the comments section of stories about recent Black Lives Matter protests.

 

Google also issued a warning on Tuesday to The Federalist over comments on articles related to recent protests.

 

A Google spokesperson said in an email on Monday that it demonetized the websites after determining they violated its policies on content related to race.

 

“We have strict publisher policies that govern the content ads can run on and explicitly prohibit derogatory content that promotes hatred, intolerance, violence or discrimination based on race from monetizing," the spokesperson wrote. "When a page or site violates our policies, we take action. In this case, we’ve removed both sites’ ability to monetize with Google.”

The alternatives to tear gas are probably worse.  Beatings, rubber bullets, and high pressure water is what you’re left with.  The issue should be more with when to deploy rather if it should be used.  I don’t think it should be used on protests in normal conditions,but if rioters infiltrate a protest and start to burn down the city.... let’s face facts and acknowledge that’s never going to be encouraged.  It can’t be.  
 

Also, people spent an awful lot of time downplaying the risks that come with fire this past month.  It’s a great thing they didn’t get out of control, but that’s blind luck.

At some point I just hope that talk of rioters and looters, and talk of protesters, stop getting lumped together like they are some monolithic group comprised of the same people.

How to Topple a Statue Using Science

Bring that sucker down without anyone getting hurt.

 

It hasn’t been a great past few weeks for statues.

 

From Bristol, England to Birmingham, Alabama, people all over the world have been grappling with the legacy of racism by tossing their grappling hooks around the heads of problematic monuments.

 

Should you happen to find yourself near a statue that you decide you no longer like, we asked scientists for the best, safest ways to bring it to the ground without anyone getting hurt—except, of course, for the inanimate racist who’s been dead for a century anyway.

Remember that time when Pence spent $100,000 or so of tax-payers' dollars to travel to an NFL game so that he could get up and leave when they kneeled?
