Google Removed Our Ad. Where Is The 'Shocking Content'?

Blue America's IE Committee has begun purchasing ads for our candidates. The first batch went up as a YouTube pre-roll for Kara Eastman (NE-02), Liam O'Mara (CA-42), Mike Siegel (TX-10) and Julie Oliver (TX-25).

There's another one, still in production, going up for Adam Christensen (FL-03) this week. I want to talk about the Julie Oliver ad because Google removed it and told us it violates their "shocking content" policy.

They didn't tell us which part of the ad violates the policy. Here's the policy:

Shocking content

The following is not allowed:

  • Promotions containing violent language, gruesome or disgusting imagery, or graphic images or accounts of physical trauma

Examples (non-exhaustive): Crime scene or accident photos, execution videos

  • Promotions containing gratuitous portrayals of bodily fluids or waste
  • Blood, guts, gore, sexual fluids, human or animal waste
  • Promotions containing obscene or profane language
  • Swear or curse words, slurs relating to race or sexuality, variations and misspellings of profane language

If the official name of your product, website, or app includes profane language, request a review and provide details of the name.
