Mike Masnick has a disturbing tale about the problems
of Techdirt with Adsense and its own content moderation.
This is apparently a problem for sites dependent on ad
income and not using subscription or patronage for funding.
Techdirt thinks that moderating content for
suitability for advertisers is almost impossible to scale.
This is similar to problems of demonetizing content on
YouTube, where news reporting often shows objectionable or violent behavior,
language, or promotion of weapons use or of hateful behavior – but in context
it is still “news”.
