PoliticoGabbard, a Democrat from Hawaii who has called for the breakup of big tech companies, was among the top search topics on Google during and after the debate. Gabbards campaign decided after the debate that now is the time we can get our message out there by buying search ads, said attorney Brian Dunne, who is representing Gabbard. But just as her Google traffic was spiking, her Google ad account was taken offline, he said.
Googles told the campaign the account was suspended for violations of billing practices and advertising practices, Dunne said. But when questioned about the validity of the suspension Dunne says there was no change of banks or financial issue with the campaigns account the company then informed the campaign there was a violation of the terms of service.
In a statement, a Google spokeswoman said the account suspension was brief and triggered automatically.

(14,174 posts)Yeah, its like people who are against handing out huge tax giveaways to oil companies, instead of new investments in alternative energy using the roads to get around, and burning oil to do it! Taking a bus to a protest is so hypocritical AmIRight? A lame excuse to say that this is our world now, and our transportation system, and we have to use the roads in the present, while we work to change things in the future. Like Al Gore actually using a plane to get to some lame international conference on global warming! What a loser eh? Or Gabbard using the primary monopolized information platform to get her message out....about curtailing the power of tech companies information platforms and privacy issues. AmIRight?

(43,867 posts)My paypal account was suspended and they gave three different reasons over the course of the month before finally settling on a fourth one.
I have a friend who's Amazon account was suspended and they NEVER told her why. After she repeatedly called them, it was finally reinstated.
And we've all heard about Facebook deleting images of things like breast cancer.

(67,782 posts)...it's a scam looking for personal information.
Despite ignoring pleas to "respond now" by clicking a link, my paypal is still alive and well.

(43,867 posts)They finally said because me and my wife both had separate PayPal accounts it was a violation of their terms of service, but not before giving a few really bizarre reasons.
