The reaction to this says a lot about who is interested in a free press vs. who is interested in a media that only promotes things they agree with.
The worst part is that this was a targeted effort by another alleged news organization.
You don't have to like anything from The Federalist to understand the danger here and how harmful it is to allow news orgs to target and get competitors demonitized for articles they don't like. There is no evidence presented that could possibly justify such an action.
Here is the column that allegedly led to the violation. I understand disagreeing with it or some taking issue with some of the points, but show me what exact lines here would justify a publication being banned:

thefederalist.com/2020/06/03/the…
So not only was NBC News behind this effort to get Google to demonetize The Federalist, but then they got the story wrong.

Also, it’s for the article comments???? A lot of news orgs are in trouble then.

NBC News has completely rewitten their article, but this was really inexcusable. Their "reporter" in the UK worked with activist groups to target other outlets they didn't like for Google violations in the comment sections. A standard that NBC News couldn't possibly survive.
This was the expert cited in the article. The reporter wasn't honest with her about the subject.

Turns out what set of Google's alarms was NBC News and it was the freaking comments section.

I really wasn't going to write about this on here, but just furious looking at those images from NY combined with the lectures from the same people encouraging that garbage about how the rest of us need to follow the rules.
There's going to be a lot of resentment about this for a long time.
So many people are being made to sacrifice and suffer while having to watch these crowds being cheered on by the same people imposing those sacrifices on the rest of us.

NYT published op-ed from a U.S. Senator urging use of military to help prevent rioting = staffers throw a tantrum, editor gets fired, paper apologizes.

Now same paper publishes op-ed w radical/unpopular view on abolishing police that would have deadly consequences = silence.
The contrast couldn't be clearer. It's obvious that tantrum was all about many in the media being unable to argue their positions and exclusively pursuing a strategy of silencing speech and speakers they don't fully agree with.
This illiberal trend has been growing on college campuses for years, and is now taking over the media. They are openly abandoning debating ideas for simply using mob-like force to punish anyone who might stray from the party line. It's dangerous and must be repudiated.

So @UberEats is actually segregating restaurants by the race of the owner and offering different pricing on that basis?

Does no one seriously recognize the issue with that?

I thought it was a joke when someone sent it to me, but then saw it on the app.
Putting aside the obvious legal questions, the road to equality can't be paved by discrimination.
Yes. A smarter, and more justifiable, approach would be to target neighborhoods affected by the riots or looting. But instead. they are creating a tiered fee structure based solely on the race of the restaurant owner.
