Google My Business Updates Guidelines on Content Related to Terrorism

Google My Business has just recently updated their guidelines to add more context around content that they don’t allow.  The guidelines previously stated that “Content promoting and encouraging violence or terrorist activities” was not allowed but have now expanded on that and added the following to their guidelines:

 

“We do not permit terrorist organizations to use this service for any purpose, including recruitment. We also strictly prohibit content related to terrorism, such as content that promotes terrorist acts, incites violence, or celebrates terrorist attacks. If posting content related to terrorism for an educational, documentary, scientific, or artistic purpose, be mindful to provide enough information so viewers understand the context.”
