Google bans political ads until after Biden’s inauguration

All political ads are set to be blocked by Google on its platforms due to the violence that occurred last week on Capitol Hill. The blockage will last until the day after Joe Biden’s inauguration on the 20th of January. Ads will be blocked starting Thursday. The blockage will affect ads which run through Google Ads, AdX Authorized Buyer, YouTube, and DV360.
