the demonetization beast is pounces

Here is the email from Google Adsense, saying as of last month I will lose my monetization if I post on forbidden content, some of which I have posted here, or more usually on my medical blog.

From my email:


Google Publisher Policies, which outline the types of content we won’t monetize through any of our publisher products. These include: Illegal Content, Child Sexual Abuse Material; Pedophilia, Sexually Explicit Content, Adult Themes in Family Content, 
I have published stuff about Female Genital mutilation, STD's and other gynecological stuff, but usually the R rated stuff is not here, but posted on my medical blog.

 And on my private blog, I have posted a lot of stuff about about the sexual abuse of children and it's link to the subset of promiscuous people, mainly but not only by those with same sex attraction, and personal observations the coverup of abuse in Altoona in the late 1990s.

Intellectual Property Abuse, 
whoops. That might include photos or quoting articles. Usually I try to paraphrase stuff, but this part could get picky.

Endangered or Threatened Species,
does this mean I can't post about elephants dying of anthrax in Zimbabwe?

 Dangerous or Derogatory Content, 
"derogatory", as in criticizing the Pope or Democrats?
the google site defines this as criticizing anyone and hurting their feeling: 

"Content that encourages others to believe that a person or group is inhuman, inferior, or worthy of being hated on the basis of their race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or other characteristic that is associated with systemic discrimination or marginalization".

Does this mean you could be demonitized if you point out a man with a history of sexual abuse of children who dresses up as a female demon so he can feel up kids in a tax supported library event is both dangerous and evil, because any criticism of this comes under the umbrella definition of "systemic discrimination"?

Enabling Dishonest Behavior, 
Again, very vague. I presume if I quote an article from the right wing Free Republic (or worse, Ann Barnhart) I am guilty of enabling their very un PC behavior.

Misrepresentative Content...
see wikipedia article on this. A variation of the libel law.

no one approves of libel, but the dirty little secret is that this can be used to shut up whistleblowers.

Here in the Philippines, it means you can't point out the crimes of politicians even when it is common knowledge. 

• Google Publisher Restrictions, which outline the types of content which will receive restricted sources of advertising. These include: Sexual Content, Shocking Content, Explosives, Guns, Gun Parts & Related Products, Other Weapons, Tobacco, Recreational Drugs, Alcohol Sales and Misuse, Online Gambling, Prescription Drugs, and Unapproved Pharmaceuticals and Supplements.

again, some of this could stop me from publishing almost anything on my medical blog.

Oh well: Since I have gotten about 30 dollars from adsense in the last ten years, it's not as if the policy will cause me any problems.

But you can see where this is going: Next step, shut down blogs completely.

So if I disappear you know what has happened.
