    Guilty until proven Innocent, and even then still kinda guilty.

    That’s just how people operate today, and it’s disgusting

      He hasn’t been thrown in jail without trial.

      This is a private company protecting itself.

      Am I misreading your comment or are you supporting the idea of guilty until proven innocent?

        Innocent until proven guilty is part of the legal system. Not part of an advertisers choice to place ads.

        He has not been found guilty of a crime without evidence. He’s lost ad revenue from a private platform.
