Dystopian megacorporation Google on Tuesday informed National Zero of a pending demonetization via an email notification with “Introducing a new Sensitive Events policy” in its subject line.

“On 9 February 2024, Google will introduce a new Sensitive Events policy into the AdSense Program Policies. A ‘Sensitive Event’ is an unforeseen event or development that creates significant risk to Google’s ability to provide high quality, relevant information and ground truth, and reduce insensitive or exploitative content in prominent and monetized features. During a Sensitive Event, we may take a variety of actions to address these risks. This message is a notification to inform you about an update to our policies. No action is needed from you at this time,” some “policy” asshole at the tech giant wrote in the mass mailer to ad partner sites, the vast majority of whom can safely disregard it as it has no implications for their coverage of pre-school education trends, reviews of golf course maintenance equipment, Japanese video games, commercial real estate finance, Jewish literature, amateur ornithology, and all else in a vast universe of other normal, healthy interests.

Still it was nice of Google to alert National Zero to the coming swift and irrevocable deprivation of its meagre advertising revenue that will come early on the 9th when their algorithm determines that what our readers understand to be mocking of right wing misinformation during this apocalyptic election year is in their understanding the propagation of it. That definitely counts.
