Got a message from Google, saying they "... will pause monetization of 
content that exploits, dismisses, or condones the war ...".

This will ruin my plan to sell Volodymyr Zelensky style olive green 
t-shirts. ;-) https://twitter.com/tom_worthington/status/1513837268876029963

... Dear Publisher,
Due to the war in Ukraine, we will pause monetization of content that 
exploits, dismisses, or condones the war.

Please note, we have already been enforcing on claims related to the war 
in Ukraine when they violated existing policies ... (for instance, the 
Dangerous or Derogatory content policy  ... prohibits monetizing content 
that incites violence or denies tragic events). This update is meant to 
clarify, and in some cases expand, our publisher guidance as it relates 
to this conflict.

This pause includes, but is not limited to, claims that imply victims 
are responsible for their own tragedy or similar instances of victim 
blaming, such as claims that Ukraine is committing genocide or 
deliberately attacking its own citizens.

Sincerely,
The Google AdSense Team ...
