Google Shopping Site Bans Guns, Ammo as Unsafe for Families

Google has announced a ban on firearms, ammunition, and other items its censors deem to be unsafe from its new Google Shopping site, initiated in early June. While most major U.S. news organs appeared to have missed or ignored the announcement, which Google made in late May, foreign newspapers were all over it. "Our company has a strong culture and values, and we've chosen not to allow ads that promote products and services that are incompatible with these values," the U.K.'s Telegraph news site quoted Google as explaining of its new "family safe" policy.
