The Centre for Countering Hate wants 10 US-based websites banned from Google AdSense


The Centre for Countering Digital Hate has released a blacklist of 10 US-based websites it wants banned from Google AdSense for “racism.”


Working together with NBC News, the Centre for Countering Digital Hate, or CCDH, succeeded in getting ZeroHedge banned from Google’s adsense,but it turns out they’re not the only websites on their blacklist.


Stop Funding Fake News, a project by the CCDH, has put 10 US-based websites, including ZeroHedge, on a blacklist for posting “racist articles about the protests.”



Sites on the list include: American Greatness, Moonbattery, American Thinker, Big League Politics, WND, The Washington Standard, Gateway Pundit, and Breitbart. The Federalist is also on the list, and were targeted by Google, but were allowed to remain on AdSense after removing their comments section.



Neo-con never Trumper Rick Wilson was humiliated after he attempted to politicize a thank you tweet sent by Dominos Pizza to White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, apparently not realizing that the tweet was 8-years-old.


“Fake News and racist narratives can cause real-world harms: dehumanising black people and whipping up fear,” they write on their site, and that therefore advertisers must “blacklist these 10, US-based, racist Fake News sites.”


The CCDH’s CEO, Imran Ahmed, applauded Google for banning ZeroHedge, and, at the time, The Federalist, from AdSense, but said that the Big Tech company needed to go even further, and go after everyone on their list:



There are eight other sites that we identified that make millions of dollars from Google Ads. We take Google at face value when they say #BlackLivesMatters [sic] and that they want to Do No Evil, but right now they are funding hate-filled and conspiracy-filled sites that may have a right to free speech, but they absolutely do not have a right to profit from it.





The campaign criticised the decision by Google to reinstate The Federalist on AdSense after having removed its offending material. “Google must not give in to pressure, and stick to their decision to demonetise The Federalist,” Stop Funding Fake News tweeted. “Everyone has the right to free speech. No one has the right to profit from hate.”
