Tulsi Gabbard’s campaign is suing Google in a California court, charging her free speech was violated when the tech giant blocked her ad account in the hours following the first Democratic presidential debate
SAN FRANCISCO — Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s presidential campaign is suing Google in a California court, charging her free speech was violated when the tech giant blocked her ad account in the hours after the first Democratic presidential debate.
"We have automated systems that flag unusual activity on all advertiser accounts — including large spending changes — in order to prevent fraud and protect our customers,” Google spokeswoman Riva Sciuto said. “In this case, our system triggered a suspension and the account was reinstated shortly thereafter. We are proud to offer ad products that help campaigns connect directly with voters, and we do so without bias toward any party or political ideology.
Gabbard has been an open critic of the tech industry. She rolled out her candidacy, in part, by warning against “big tech companies who take away our civil liberties and freedoms in the name of national security and corporate greed.” She has also voiced support for net neutrality, considering it a “cornerstone of our democracy.” In an interview on Joe Rogan’s podcast, she criticized Facebook for banning some users on the platform.
