And today, Google is reversing its coronavirus ad ban after @birnbaum_e reported on Democrats' fears that the policy gave Pres. Trump full control over the message. Shout out to Emily making BIG moves with her first Protocol piece. https://t.co/GDIxsIdQjF https://t.co/myos2jt25M

Axios reports Google to lift advertising ban on coronavirus topics

Dems complained vocally this week. https://t.co/Y4inHbxgTB
"Google says that it's planning to allow other advertisers, including political organizations, to run ads related to the coronavirus, and will make an announcement about that in the next few days." https://t.co/wNDruiwZKu

*Details: The broad ban had stopped consumer brands, like retail/CPG, as well as corporate social responsibility brands like nonprofits, from running COVID-19 ads. Google starting w political advertisers, to address Dem concerns, but will phase in other advertisers in coming days https://t.co/ZEoGfo8dBf

This is big, positive step for publishers if Google/advertisers follow through ... a blanket coronavirus ad ban would have been cataclysmic for the trusted news industry https://t.co/hdjW1E4ukU

One of the most undercovered stories of this election is how seemingly every political decision @Google makes just so happens to benefit the Trump campaign.

Multiple Democratic and progressive strategists were rebuked when they tried to place Google ads criticizing the Trump administration's response to coronavirus https://t.co/HLfSMIXZ15

Google won't let Dems run ads critical of Trump’s #COVID19 response. As I told @Protocol, we're in the middle of the defining event of this election... not allowing candidates to mention COVID-19 could dramatically bolster Trump's chances of reelection. https://t.co/YNc91O5tYr

Trump's response to this crisis has been slow, insufficient, and driven by his ego instead of the advice of medical experts. But Google refused to allow anyone to use their platforms to call him out for it and only changed their stance after public outcry. https://t.co/nRB9B1RHjW

Google relaxes its broad ban on ads that mention coronavirus

Google has banned most nongovernmental advertising about #coronavirus, which allows the Trump admin to run ads promoting its response to the crisis while denying Dems the chance to run ads pointing out that his response has been massively inept!#COVID19 https://t.co/QlvKqXQ0GH

The pro-censhorship camp always just assumes they'll never be the ones getting censored.

"No, no...we meant you were to ban *their* political ads, not ours."https://t.co/bgU8OCpbpC
This @Google advertising rule needs to change. Suppressing ads that criticize Trump's #coronavirus response is tantamount to helping him whitewash his disastrous record. https://t.co/FSAgK0Km03
