Google Adsense.............Censorship and Hypocricy.............


As google ads have locked my account due to the 'ADULT' content of our site I feel compelled to post this>

The site was created on 12/31/2007, we did not start our adsense account until July 2009, since then we have had your advertising on the site. In June you suspended the ads briefly issue id: 2267249 we appealed and you confirmed by email " As below.........


We have reviewed theospark.net and can confirm that it now complies with
our programme policies. I have updated your account records to indicate
compliance with our programme policies and you should see Google ads
appearing on your site again within 48 hours.

To make sure your account continues to comply with our policies in the
future, I would encourage you to thoroughly review our policies:
https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=48182&stc=aspe-2pp-en_GB&hl=en_gb.
Please be aware that if your site is found to be in violation of our
programme policies in the future, we reserve the right to review your
participation in the programme anew.

Thank you for your cooperation."


We Continue.......


The content of the site has always been the same from day one. You allowed us to host ads when we applied for the account and you agreed that the site complied in June 2011. If you check our archives you will see that nothing has changed. We would like to know why you have now decided that we are in violation as you yourselves confirmed that we were not in violation. If there is a specific post you do not like please let us know and we will remove it.
They other rationale suggests that we are being targeted by a malicious third party who make bogus complaints to you because they do not like our site. Please can you advise as to the reasoning of this latest block on the ads as we can see no legitimate cause. We do everything to keep the site family friendly and in our view there is nothing 'ADULT' about it. I would be appreciated if you would take the time to look at the site to see the wide range of subjects posted as you will see that the complaint is foundless. Your co-operation in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
We await your reply with interest.

Google removed adsense from my blog a few years back right after I wrote a post about Google having trouble parsing a browser version out of an Internet Explorer session. (It's something anyone with about a month of HTML experience can do.) They didn't like me pointing out that they were being technically incompetent, so they cancelled for "TOS violations".

When I contacted their support people about it, the answer I got was, basically, "Negative material about Google is not a violation of TOS, but your adsense is cancelled anyway. KTHXBY"

They do this kind of thing pretty regularly.

Google blocked adsense on my blog about a year ago. Or maybe 2. Their reasoning refers to an email they claimed they sent to me long ago. Probably was deleted from spam box. I don't know.

I cant view Theospark at the library due to 'Nudity'. I have been here for years and dont think I have ever seen any nudity.

Is adsense the one that advertises anything I have searched? I looked at forklifts one time (for technical information) and got forklift ads for months. What am I going to do with a forklift in my apartment?
