Google, who owns Youtube and most of the advertising companies pay for on social media, sent an email to all content publishers this month that they will be demonetized if they produce any content that casts Ukraine in a bad light. This includes negative commentary on Zelensky, discussion on the neo-Nazis that make up a good bit of the Ukrainian military, and any assertions of false flag bombings that Ukraine is almost certainly conducting in hopes of driving anti-Russian sentiment.
aka, you will lose your source of income if you produce war content not consistent with the mainstream media.
Dear Publisher,
Due to the war in Ukraine, we will pause monetization of content that exploits, dismisses, or condones the war.
Please note, we have already been enforcing on claims related to the war in Ukraine when they violated existing policies (for instance, the Dangerous or Derogatory content policy prohibits monetizing content that incites violence or denies tragic events). This update is meant to clarify, and in some cases expand, our publisher guidance as it relates to this conflict.
This pause includes, but is not limited to, claims that imply victims are responsible for their own tragedy or similar instances of victim blaming, such as claims that Ukraine is committing genocide or deliberately attacking its own citizens.
