Mighty Oaks is a veteran's help organization that uses Google for advertising on social media.

Google rejected their advert because it contained the word 'Christian' which Google said violated its policy against using religion in ads.

The foundation tested the rule by resubmiting the ad with the only change being a swap of Muslim for Christian.

Google accepted the test advert. Google has not responded to reporter's questions.

Are you surprised? Google is a leftist organization masquerading as a corporation. The hatred of Jesus is the root of all leftism.

So do you have anything to say about the story in te OP or do you just want to nitpick at posts from random strangers on the internet?

Prove it wasn’t some algorithm with a million lines of code that kicked it for some nonsensical reason. Has Google even had a chance to review it before everyone lit up with, “Ah, google is the devil!!!!!”?

None of you know, but don’t give time for the facts to come out slow you down from being persecuted. Let’s trust ONA as a credible news source not seeking to get clicks by ramping people up over nothing.

Hahahaha

Somebody believes their “algorithm” horse shite. Why of course you could totally have code pluck out one word and not another without anybody directing it. Maybe it is AI!

Apparently someone programmed those "millions of lines of code" to reject christian and accept Muslim, no?

Proof is in the pudding...

Prove it wasn’t a simple if/then looking for “christ*.”

Why would they need to review their infallibly neutral algorithm?

Nor do you, but you were sure quick to jump to G’s defense. I mean, there’s no pattern here right?

Well, I doubt we’ll be seeing a Google notification about an MSNBC story on the subject.

Which do you think is more likely?


That google sucks at programming or they are full of people who are ideological leftists firsts and foremost?

A controlled test of different religious terms has that poster slamming the breaks. But a simple "nah, that ain't us" response from Google, and he'll be 100% sure nothing to see here.

Bingo

Leftist “we don’t hate Christianity”. Proceeds to attack Christians because they are Christian

I don't think it's all leftist, however, Google applies odd policies like this often. I am not religious and don't follow any particular faith, but if you are to allow one religion the ability to advertise you must allow them all.

probably not new news here but my bro-in-law shared this with me yesterday....pretty damn alarming how one side accuses the other of these election crimes, yet, they are the one who have things being pushed in their favor.

What’s the rationale for this? What other things are not allowed in Google advertising?

The buzz is all about Russian election meddling when it ought to be about big tech meddling.

Look at the founders of goo-goo. Huge American hating communists.

IDK why these 'ill-liberals' are so fond of islam: honor killings, throwing gays off buildings, women are viewed as property..

One of the most effective ways to counter the censorship of goo-goo is to not use them.

Every click, they get revenue.

Hit where it hurts most, in the pocket-book

There are other good alternatives to goo-goo:

Startpage

Duckduckgo

There is even some up and coming sites that are giving bootube a run for its money, like bitchute

There is even good alternatives to drudge like 'whatfinger'
