Note: Here at Issues & Insights, we wish to thank all of America’s servicemen and women for their bravery, hard work and sacrifice for our nation. Our special gratitude goes to those who, as President Lincoln said in the Gettysburg Address, gave “the last full measure of devotion” to their nation’s preservation by giving their lives in battle. We can never repay them for our hard-won freedom, nor should we ever betray their precious sacrifice on our behalf.
Using these vague “policy violations,” Google is now threatening to demonetize us. It’s part of Big Tech’s effort to silence conservative voices.
