(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home4/scienrds/scienceandnerds/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Source: https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/2\/18\/22937318\/twitter-google-ad-blocked-racism-health-journal<\/a> The medical journal Health Affairs<\/em> spent years planning its special issue on health and racism, which it published at the beginning of February. The journal wanted to reach new readers by promoting the issue through targeted advertisements on Twitter and YouTube. <\/p>\n That\u2019s why it was so frustrating when Twitter and Google blocked its ads before they could go up, says Patti Sweet, the director of digital strategy at Health Affairs<\/em>. The journal\u2019s Google ads account was also suspended. Sweet wrote a blog post<\/a> outlining that frustration last week, saying she thought the use of the word \u201cracism\u201d was the trigger for the rejections. <\/p>\n But Twitter and Google say the ad rejections didn\u2019t have to do with the language around racism \u2014 rather, they were blocked due to policies around advocacy and COVID-19, respectively. The confusion highlights how health research sometimes doesn\u2019t fit neatly into categories used by tech companies to flag potentially problematic content, making it challenging for them to push out credible information when certain keywords pop up. <\/p>\n
