    Default YouTube bans using word 'Christian' in targeted ads

    https://www.premier.org.uk/News/Worl...n-targeted-ads

    Fri 26 Jul 2019
    By Heather Preston

    The founder of a Christian war veteran recovery programme had his ad rejected from YouTube for using the keyword 'Christian'.

    Chad Robichaux, founder of the Mighty Oaks Foundation - a charity providing support and discipleship to those suffering from wartime trauma, was told he could not use the label 'Christian' to boost his advert on the Google owned platform as it violated the site's advertising policy.

    Mr Robichaux posted about the incident on twitter, claiming not allowing the word Christian was discriminating:

    "We ran a YouTube ad for our veterans ministry outreach for those in need & it was denied for the word "Christian". Insane! #Censorship should terrify every American; conservative or liberal, Christian or Muslim. This bias is a dangerous course for America."



    The YouTube team responded to Mr Robichaux's tweets, maintaining that targeting users based on their religion was in breach of their advertising policy but that adverts can include the term 'Christian' in them and still hope to reach a Christian audience.

    "We know that religious beliefs are personal, so we don't allow advertisers to target users on the basis of religion. Beyond that, we don't have policies against advertising that includes religious terms like "Christian".

    Mr Robichaux has called out the tech giant for religious discrimination, saying that he posted the same ad with a target label of 'Muslim' and was not asked to take it down.

    "We ran the exact same ad with the keyword "Muslim" & it was approved but "Christian" was not. Additionally, we've ran ads with the keyword "Christian" for years. This year alone we had 150,000 impressions on that word in our ads. As per your support line this is a new restriction"

    After speaking with Google's help desk, Mr Robichaux was told the policy was new.

    Google has yet to comment publicly on the matter.

    At the same time word Muslim isn't banned. What an irony

    Google and Youtube should be banned
    Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live.

    Even if this were hard--that is how it is ! Assuredly, however, by far the harder fate is that which strikes the man who thinks he can overcome Nature, but in the last analysis only mocks her. Distress, misfortune, and diseases are her answer.

    Do not abuse the concept of censorship. Google and YouTube are private companies. Censorship exists, for example, in Russia, where 80% of Apricity users could have received a prison sentence or a large fine for their saying or even repost and post "like".

    It's far worse than anything in Russia.

    Youtube has become lefist bigoted. They started blocking comments and now they follow their censorship. I hope soon there will be more competition from other services.

    "Wrong" Faith

    Among those who are constantly under pressure from the pro-Russian separatists in the Donbass are numerous Protestant religious organizations. As Krasimir Yankov from Amnesty International told Krasimir Yankov (DW), the activities of religious communities that do not belong to the "dominant church" are being curtailed in the region. Pro-Russian separatists call themselves "the Orthodox army", and followers of various areas of Protestantism - extremists, sectarians, US spies or OSCE spies.

    Since the outbreak of hostilities in the Donbass, Jehovah's Witnesses, the Transfiguration Church, the Christ is the Answer Church, the Good News, and many others have complained about the persecution of separatists. Representatives of these religious communities who left the uncontrolled territories talk about the attacks and detentions of pastors of their communities and the confiscation of property. In Donetsk, the separatists took away a Mormon building built at the expense of the community, and placed a local registry office there.

    That’s hard to believe. It should be protested.
