So The Federalist, uniwttingly or not, did exactly what gOoGle wanted them to do.  Yeah, that shows real balls, buddy.

GoOGle was criticizing a comment section they've obviously never read, so The Federalist shut it down.  Gee, isn't that exactly what gooGLe set out to do in the first place? 

I hope no more publications decide to do what The Federalist did or we'll have no freedom of speech left in this country at all.  The Federalist needs to rethink this thing, and fast, or they're going to lose readers.  They just lost me.

Yep, canary in the coalmine - - and they fell for it.

QUOTE FROM ARTICLE:

"Google released a statement Tuesday contradicting NBC’s reporting, claiming The Federalist had been warned it may be demonetized over content in its comment sections, which have since been temporarily disabled.

Yet “Google owns YouTube, whose comment section is notoriously toxic,” Domenech pointed out."
