Last week The Gateway Pundit reported that Google canceled its ad network on our popular conservative website.
‘Just the News’ reported over the weekend that The Gateway Pundit was not alone.
We reported last week on Google’s latest effort to hurt The Gateway Pundit by attacking our advertising revenue. Google, Facebook and Amazon control over 75% of online advertising and frequently target and censor conservative websites.
Over the weekend, Just the News commented on Google’s attack against The Gateway Pundit and others.
In recent days, Twitter permanently banned independent journalist Alex Berenson, Google demonetized The Gateway Pundit from its ad network, and Chase Bank canceled the credit cards of retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.
With national attention riveted over the weekend on two major stories — the frantic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan amid its fall to the Taliban and category 4 Hurricane Ida slamming into the Louisiana coast — Big Tech and woke finance dramatically extended the reach of cancel culture with brazen moves to silence and harass three high-profile voices of political and scientific dissent: independent journalist Alex Berenson, popular conservative news and opinion website The Gateway Pundit, and Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.
On Saturday, Twitter permanently banned Alex Berenson, who has built a large social media following challenging public health establishment orthodoxy on COVID issues ranging from lockdown to vaccine mandates…
…Meanwhile, on Thursday search and online advertising giant Google took aim at The Gateway Pundit, a conservative online news and opinion site that is ranked in the top 200 of U.S. websites according to Alexa and in the top 50 of English language news websites, according to a study prepared for media industry news site PressGazette.
“Google demonetized the Gateway Pundit from their ad network,” the site’s founder and editor Jim Hoft reported on Saturday.
Jim Hoft shared:
In explaining its move, Google cited two categories of violations: “Dangerous or derogatory content” and “Misreprentative — Unreliable and harmful claims.”
“The Gateway Pundit has an outstanding record of accurately reporting the top news stories of the day,” Hoft shot back. “Because of our continued success and our honest conservative bent we are regularly censored.”
Loss of revenue from Google Ads can be a severe blow to a digital news site, given the platform’s commanding position within the online advertising marketplace.“For the record,” wrote Hoft, “the Google advertising platform is one of the largest ad networks on the internet. So now Google is not only censoring and shadowbanning conservatives, they are taking away their ad money.
“Google is truly one of the most dangerous companies in the world today.”
The third victim of the weekend purge was former Trump National Security Adviser and director of the Defense Intelligence Agency during the Obama administration Michael Flynn, who posted to his Telegram account a notice from Chase Bank notifying him of the cancellation his credit cards.
“After careful consideration, we decided to close your credit cards on September 18, 2021 because continuing the relationship creates possible reputational risk to our company,” read the terse update from the Cardmember Services division of Chase, the banking subsidiary of financial services behemoth JPMorgan Chase.
These actions were as un-American enslaving fellow Americans.
These Big Tech and Big Finance giants should abide by the Bill of Rights and American law or be broken up and shut down.
