Thanks & Regards,
Here are screenshots of the spreadsheet:
For a full-size/full-resolution image, Command-click (MacOS) or right-click (Windows) on screenshots and “open image in new tab.
Here are the full complaints about the last two entries, which are truncated in the screenshot above:
That final entry in the spreadsheet illustrates that Google’s demand is capricious, arbitrary, and demonstrably false.1 The URL is for a cross-post from Tom Engelhardt about Chalmers Johnson, a mild critic of US foreign policy, and has nothing whatsoever to do with health or health care policy. That creates the appearance that Google regards “anti-vaxx” as a showstopper, and is for some reason desperately applying it to this site, which is not vaccine hostile. Google has blatantly mislabeled unrelated content to try to make that bogus charge.
Needless to say, the Censorship Industrial Complex is now extending its tentacles into commercial relationships. This appears to be going well beyond the “kill a chicken to scare a monkey” strategy of deplatforming and demonetizing particularly strident voices
I am alerting allies and also contacting my lawyer and will keep you updated.
In the meantime, please circulate this post widely. It would be particularly helpful to bring this up in comments in various sites, and alert any publishers that take tips from readers. This is not a one-off. If Google is doing this to a small site like ours, you can be sure there are plenty of others on its hit list.

1 A stickler can argue that the spreadsheet is not from Google but a document prepared by our ad service to convey information provided by Google. Given that the ad service regularly deals with very detailed ad placement/ revenue information in spreadsheet form, the odds greatly favor it having been conveyed from the Google source records accurately. I am raising objections, not that I expect that to go anywhere.
