GOOGLE ADSENSE ON PUBLISHERS’ FREE SPEECH

The internet has become a platform for free speech including social media and page-owned contents. However, this privilege gets overused by some publishers, which in turn, a new video was released reminding them about the dangerous and derogatory content policy. This guideline affects all AdSense publishers but those who publish user-generated content may feel this impact the most. Google AdSense Reminders to Publishers This policy doesn’t mean Google AdSense has singled out user-generated content from the freedom to express thoughts. But websites like forum communities became an opportunity for too much freedom of expression without following proper regulation. This system negatively affects SEO, especially if that particular page is aiming for better ranking because once the page identifies as having participated in violating Google’s policy, that site can be taken off. In addition to that, this reminder serves to recall to publishers to avoid having their AdSense accounts revoked or suspended. You can check the AdSense help page for the list of the kinds of content they prohibit. With respect to the policy, Google also shared its own list, which is also part of the contract agreed upon joining the AdSense network:
Creating a Posting Policy – Coming up with forum policies is a great idea, and it’s up to you when to create one and what limitations to set. Warning users about what they post that will violate your posting policy will be removed, and consistent violation may result in revocation of their posting privileges. Furthermore, if you are an AdSense publisher, the list of prohibitions by Google is best followed. Remove Objectionable Content – Although posting forum policies help minimise constant violation and maintain balance in forum communities, it may not be enough as the system needs enforcing. That’s where the idea of proactively removing prohibited content is best applied.
Conclusion With Google’s guidelines, we get a bigger picture on how to avoid conflicts and other things that could cause disruption when it comes to people expressing themselves on forums and other areas across the internet. This policy serves a purpose not just with Google AdSense, but also establishes proper discipline and cultivates appropriate behaviour towards community pages.
