It's crazy to witness the internet rise out of essentially nothing into the most powerful tool humanity has ever seen and the subsequent power grab online. Our future can potentially be very bleak or very incredible, and frankly that choice is in none of our control. Ride the wave boys! Have fun, make money, fuck bitches, improve your lives everyday, and try to be the best person you can, its all we can do.

I don't get this. As a webmaster, I know googles rules. I choose not to use google ad sense, because I would be breaking the rules posting about cannabis on my .com, which is considered "drug related". Why is google in the wrong? I don't believe they are. It is their policy, which he broke. He has the choice to go anywhere else, or stop being lazy and look for advertisers himself and make the real cash.

He didn't break the rule that Adsense said he broke, though.

Our program policies don't allow Google ads to be placed on content that contains graphic or gory images such as bloodshed, fight scenes, and gruesome or freak accidents. Publishers are responsible for every page on which their ad code appears and for screening any text, images, videos, or other media which will appear on a page with Google ads.

he did. He posted pictures of prisoners of war, that can be considered gruesome. Whether he was crossing the line with that particular picture is subjective. Knowing that, and knowing that Google has the last say tells with the policy is a tell all. Stupid ass webmaster. Thats it. Please read the policy before you attempt to argue something you most likely have never done before anyway. At least read their policy. jesus

What picture violated any of those policies? There were no gory images, bloodshed, fight scenes, and certainly no gruesome/freak accidents.

What, exactly, is gory about that? A couple of soldiers, a dog, and a prisoner just standing around. There isn't even any blood.

It's the new norm. SEO by Google is slowly being manipulated to censor. Google has changed drastically since word got out about what the NSA was doing. Search engine results, YouTube, and theirs News search are all just a little bit different nowadays, right?

With all that NSA money, I don't think they give a shit about ad revenue.

That's certainly one way to quash dissent; make it very difficult for websites to survive without ad dollars... determined by content. Luckily Adsense is one of many ad platforms to choose from. Others will eat up that market share. Your loss, Google.
