Google has threatened to ban the conservative news and opinion site The Federalist from profiting off online advertising through Google Ads for violating the tech giant’s conditions against “inappropriate content.”

Google is disputing an NBC News report claiming that Google barred The Federalist and Zerohedge from Google’s ad platform over allegations that the sites spread false or racist information. Google has deplatformed Zerohedge, but only warned The Federalist and has given the site time to correct the violations.
