Get ads off of Breitbart

This works from a smart phone just as easily as a computer.
1.) Go to Breitbart (dot) com. [I know, ugh, but keep going.]
2.) Find a Google AdSense ad. It will have a teal triangle & an X in its upper righthand corner.
3.) Click on the triangle.
4.) Click "Ad choices."
5.) A page loads called About Google Ads. Scroll down and click to "Leave feedback on the website you just saw."
6.) You are given a choice between "the website" & "the ads."
Choose "the website."
7.) Check the box saying that the website (Breitbart) promotes racial intolerance. Add a comment that briefly states it promotes white supremacy, racial intolerance, misogyny, anything factual about that heinous page.
8.) Click submit!

Silicon valley needs to step up. They've really dropped the ball this election. Breitbart isn't news. I'm getting Breitbart as the first result during a lot of news searches. It's like putting Stormfront under the news tab.

Go to "Send Feedback" at the bottom of the google page (although I doubt they read it).

instead of Google, use https://duckduckgo.com/html/

I just tried an experiment there. I searched "pizzagate" as a term that should have brought up Breitbastard, and nope. Didn't. I do, though, think we should all "Send Feedback" to Google.

Sorry I didn't see your post until just now. It's for an event that's going on today, in another hour even. National protest, the link you posted tells where all the planned places are. Every state. So, in a way, you did post this. Hope others saw it.

Happy to oblige in the future, just need a little more warning.

Welcome back.
