Google Pauses Political Ads After Riot at US Capitol

Axios: Google has informed its advertising partners that its platforms will block all political ads, as well as any related to the Capitol insurrection, “following the unprecedented events of the past week and ahead of the upcoming presidential inauguration.” Google said it will “carefully examine a number of factors before deciding to lift this policy for advertisers,” but that the current plan is to keep this policy in place until at least Jan. 21.
