Google is not demanding that they censor their comment. Google is telling them that they won't serve ads on their page because of issues.

Funny complaint coming from a site called "Naked Capitalism".



Indeed; this is capitalism in its purest form. The linked article about 'Blowback' features user comments containing gems like ‘Grooming little kids to be “trans” or “queer” has outraged many and made things worse’. Advertisers generally do not want their ads seen alongside such polarized and extremist statements, because it could harm their brand (unless they are only targetting that demographic). They pay their advertisement platform to manage that.


it seems there is some incompatibility with the naked and capitalism here, and they selected for the first word not the second.
