Got a message from Google, saying they "... will pause monetization of
content that exploits, dismisses, or condones the war ...".
This will ruin my plan to sell Volodymyr Zelensky style olive green
t-shirts. ;-) https://twitter.com/tom_worthington/status/1513837268876029963

Subject: Important Notice: Update regarding Ukraine
Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2022 11:24:19 -0700
From: Google AdSense <adsense-noreply(a)google.com>
... Dear Publisher,
Due to the war in Ukraine, we will pause monetization of content that
exploits, dismisses, or condones the war.
Please note, we have already been enforcing on claims related to the war
in Ukraine when they violated existing policies ... (for instance, the
Dangerous or Derogatory content policy ... prohibits monetizing content
that incites violence or denies tragic events). This update is meant to
clarify, and in some cases expand, our publisher guidance as it relates
to this conflict.
This pause includes, but is not limited to, claims that imply victims
are responsible for their own tragedy or similar instances of victim
blaming, such as claims that Ukraine is committing genocide or
deliberately attacking its own citizens.
Sincerely,
The Google AdSense Team ...
