Over the last few years, Big Tech has unleashed many different attacks on WND, the pioneering Christian journalism organization now in its 25th year. From classifying WND as an "extremist group," to writing WND out of its search algorithms, to de-monetizing WND's YouTube channel, to confining WND to "Facebook jail" for over a year, the attacks never end.
However, as of this week, Big Tech has upped its game: Google has now officially de-monetized WND – permanently.
That could end up cutting WND's online ad revenue roughly in half, since not only does de-monetization mean the removal of all Google ads, but the removal of ads from alternate advertising services as well, since many of these companies utilize Google Ad Manager to serve their ads. So, what did WND do to merit such a punishment?
According to Google's "Violation Explanation," WND is loaded down with "dangerous or derogatory content," as well as "misrepresentative content" and "unreliable and harmful claims."
"We do not allow content," explains Google, "that incites hatred against, promotes discrimination of, or disparages an individual or group on the basis of their race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or other characteristic that is associated with systemic discrimination or marginalization." Or which "harasses, intimidates, or bullies an individual or group of individuals."

Those who are demonitized should file “restraint of trade” lawsuits.

But ISIS, AQ and the Taliban are just fine, since they are practicing their religion and following their culture - murder, racism disparagement against other religions (Christians in particular) are all normal Islamic cultural practices. Therefore, all muslim groups are within our guidelines and perfectly acceptable

WND can prosper without Google — if enough of their followers sign-up for the pay version. I did this, and my ad-free experience (and relief from guilt over use of an ad blocker) was refreshing.

Google needs to be “demonetized”.
