Google to forbid animal cruelty in their ad network

Google will forbid animal cruelty content in their publisher ad network, starting in August.

Google says Google Publisher Policy will be updated to clarify that Google prohibits content that promotes cruelty or gratuitous violence towards animals.

According to Google, the update will consolidate the Endangered or threatened species and the Animal cruelty policy under a new Animal cruelty topic.

Google Publisher Policy impacts publishers using AdMob, AdSense, and Ad Manager to monetize their inventory.
