More than 300 ads from President Trump’s re-election campaign were removed by YouTube and Google over the summer for “violating company policy,” according to a new report.

The video ads paid for by Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign, Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., ran for several days on YouTube before being taken down, an investigation by “60 Minutes” found Sunday.

When quizzed on why the ads were pulled, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki said some of videos were “not approved to run,” before deferring any further questions to Google’s online transparency report, which keeps an archive of political ads.

But the report gives no specific reason why the ads were taken down or what company policy they violated.

Google is a moral dead zone when it comes to Trump.

Google’s strategy is to push just enough that they hamstring conservatives as much as possible but not enough that everybody cuts and runs to an alternative platform and they lose all their influence.

Positively portraying or sympathetic to a Republican.

If they removed the ads, did they refund the Trump campaign the $$$ they spent to advertise in the first place?

Google’s policy to Trump is easy to understand: No Trump ads.

Our systems, our algorithms, they don’t have any concept of understanding what’s a Democrat, what’s a Republican.

Bullshit. How many Democrat political ads have been turned off by Google? And if there are any, it's because that Democrat didn't espouse the Google view of the world. Google has become bad people.

Obviously we don’t, but those who only see negative Trump ads might learn something.
