But in May, Google yanked the [Turn Off the Blue Light] ad, having suddenly decided the content was an "egregious violation" of company ad policy. Google contends the ad is selling adult sexual services, a sector it bars from advertising (with an interesting exception for stripping or lap-dancing services).



But Blue Light isn't selling sexual services. It's campaigning for human rights. Unfortunately, Google won't budge.



As if to add insult, the company then sold an AdWord to a religious organization leading a campaign against sex trafficking in Ireland.
