because advertisers that pay Google don't want their ads to appear on ZeroHedge
There’s no evidence that this was driven by advertisers, it was a unilateral decision made by Google, influenced by a taxpayer-funded British pressure group. Does that count as election meddling by a foreign power I wonder?

On the balance, these decisions don't seem to be driven by radical policies from either side; they seem driven by Google's love of money.
