I'm late to the party on this but I want to confirm there are more words then just "gun" that are being treated unequally by search engines and other major internet platforms.

I have in the past been an EiC at a now closed consumer news website that focused on Lolita fashion. Lolita fashion is a style of clothing who's name suffers from a bad case of Engrish; it is, in reality, a very hyper-prudish group with no relation to the book. However, we struggled with google ads for an extensive period of time when trying to come up with the name for our site because google wanted to almost exclusively serve us sex product and explicitly adult ads if the word "lolita" was too common or in the domain name. On tumblr the term "lolita" is also highly censored and makes it difficult for Lolitas to find content they are interested in; they have had to switch over to hashtags without that word in it. Youtube has also cracked down on Lolita youtubers, or so I've been told, who can no longer place ads on videos that are about Lolita fashion.

That's insane

Our site eventually went so in the red, along with other issues, that it had to be shut down. Part of the reason was that we had a lot of traffic, but very little ability to utilize ads.

Google ads may have not completely saved it, but we considered it a very mentionable contributor to what happened.

I think part of the problem with the term "lolita" is its unfortunate (and usually improper) association with pedophilia

This is true; Lolita fashion is a victim of Engrish. In Japan it does not hold that direct association. The Japanese know of the book, but they do not assume the two are connected. If the style had originated in America the community would have likely changed the name already, but the style began in Harajuku in the 1980s and then very slowly spread across the world. Almost all the brands that make the clothing are Japanese and they say Lolita.

Yeah. It is quite unfortunate, because Lolita fashion is actually quite conservative, and (in my opinion) it looks better than most fashions that come out of Europe these days.

It's also extremely feminst, in a non-contemporary sense. It's literally designed to be wish forefillment for girls and women and is not intended to be seen as attractive. It's a look that goes back to the old fashion notion of the concepts "beauty" and "sexy" being separate from each other. So to say the least; google wanting to give us ads for bondage gear was the opposite of what we wanted; it was just as bad as if they tried to give beer ads to a Mormon website.

Yep

I was not directly in charge of the ads for the site, but the feedback I got from the guy who was in charge of it was that we needed to accept limited or no ads if we were going to decline the adult-themed ones. As far as I can tell there was no way to even start a dialog with google about this; it was a take it or leave it situation. We could not explain to a living human at google why their ads would not work for us.

Yeah, from everything I've read/heard of Google Adsense there is no negotiation on what ads appear. They give an initial vector of what kinds of ads you'll see, and then they let the algorithm figure out what other ads to put on as it learns the sort of people that visit your site.

UPDATE: Today Czech e-journal published 2 new articles on killed Slovakian investigative journalist - It's also possible he was killed by judicial mafia in Slovakia - he was investigating the assignment of court cases to chosen courts and to some chosen judges, where a small group of businesses made a lot of money. Most likely it has nothing to do with the Italian mafia in Slovakia.

^ fucking shit, how is "don't report crime" the obvious solution rather than "prevent, disincentivise crime"

Can we stop the world?

I want to get off.

The criminals hiring school kids is what got me, not reporting is one thing, but actively encouraging crime getting their hands on kids, jesus
