So you agree that Google removing divisive categories is better for them and their users – but you're angry that people did the work and found that this policy is unevenly applied? Why is it not worth asking why "Muslim" was blacklisted but not "Christian", "Jewish", or "Buddhist"?
> The religious descriptions “Jewish,” “Christian,” and “Buddhist” were also blocked as standalone words. But when we combined them with the word “fashion,” only “Muslim fashion,” one of the terms suggested by advocates, was blocked. “Jewish fashion,” “Christian fashion,” and “Buddhist fashion” were not blocked for advertising when we conducted our study, showing the blanket ban on “Muslim” in combination with any other word did not extend to other religions.
