Google confirmed today that it took issue with two conservative websites over comments sections that violated the company’s policies on “dangerous and derogatory” content.

Zero Hedge will no longer be able to use Google’s ad platform to monetize its content as of last week, and The Federalist was warned about their comments section and was given three days to comply with Google’s rules before the company ceased access to its ad platform.

Google said The Federalist has since removed comments from its website after the company “worked with them to address issues on their site related to the comments section.”
