Honestly, I think you can stop advertising. The word is out.

Build it and they will come.

I try to use keywords that indicate people don't already know about win. More towards the old /r/TD. Can't hurt.

No, I just made a dummy account today using an old phone hooked up the wifi so that I can lurk a few pages & groups.

This is comes across as similar to when people use a DMCA take down on videos to try and get peoples' personal information from the counter claim that has to be filed.

Rekieta Law has some advice for that situation which sounds like it is applicable here: Hire an agent (yeah, a lawyer) to represent you.

You could bounce an email off Nick and see what he thinks.

Hijacking top comment. Just got a notice from Google that my ad is now disallowed because it's considered "election advertising" and they only allow verified advertisers to advertise for election related stuff. My ad makes no mention of voting or "Trump". It only said:

"The New Home of /r/The_Donald | Come join the discussion. From the patriots who ran /r/The_Donald, is a site for discussions, memes, AMAs, and more."

LOL We are definitely on their radar.

YT videos are very easy to rank, sometimes in a matter of mins they can show up in SERPs for less aggressive KWs. Animoto videos are easy to create, but YMMV, plus they don't get blocked by adblockers.

So, they are blanket flagging anything to do with trump as election ads now.

It's not really about this particular forum. The standard is broad and applies to any money spent to buy media that could influence an election or other public policy. It's all outlined on the FEC website.

The only one on their radar at this point is you. Google's job is to give information to the FEC. The FEC's job is to slap small fines on people who unknowingly violate election finance law and bigger fines for doing some of the shit recommended in some of these comments. You can probably still quit while you're ahead.

You could possibly keep a game going for months, with illegible documents and such.

https://support.google.com/adspolicy/answer/9703665?hl=

Advertisers who are required to complete advertiser identity verification will be notified and given 30 days to submit documentation. Verification must be completed by an authorized representative.

Once you submit your documentation, you will then have an additional 30 days to complete any additional verification steps or your account will be paused. Multiple failed attempts to complete the verification program will result in account pausing.

Currently, Google supports identity verification for advertisers registered in Canada, India, Russia, Ukraine and the United States.Advertisers who are required to complete advertiser identity verification will be notified and given 30 days to submit documentation.

Supply something illegible. Note that you expect that you will be going on (satanic?) missionary work/pilgramage to some other country for some time (Hail Satan and Google!) and that ability to respond and send anything further (if needed) may be limited during that time.

When they ask for more, ask if verification requirements "only applies to US advertisers for now" (it does) and as you are located in Shithole Country XXX right now, is it really needed?

That, or see if the RNLA https://www.rnla.org/contact or Federalist Society https://fedsoc.org/

might consider a small funded add buy under their names and address if that might work.

Not if you want to advertise. It’s due to the content of the site. Anything political is being questioned.

I heard of a tactic people use to mess with people on Facebook is to click on the victims account and click that it's a fake account. Then Facebook will force the user to verify their identity with a drivers license.

It's likely the same thing here.

This may be too much effort, but is there an 'ad agency' who can place the ads on your behalf? Let them deal with the verifications.

Register as a deceased family member, edit a driver's license and send that. You know, like how the Dems register cemeteries and morgues with their new voter squads.

You got ID'd as political advertising, everybody doing it has to go through the disclosure and compliance stuff. You should probably just quit while you're ahead, the FEC doesn't have a sense of humor.

It's not political advertising. It's a fucking fanclub for the president. The ad says nothing about voting.

According to this report, Google executives were indoctrinating their workforce after the Clinton defeat:

Brin says he is “deeply offen[ded]” by the election of Trump, and that the election “conflicts with many of [Google’s] values.” (00:09:10) Trying to explain the motivations of Trump supporters, Senior VP for Global Affairs, Kent Walker concludes: “fear, not just in the United States, but around the world is fueling concerns, xenophobia, hatred, and a desire for answers that may or may not be there.”

Pay a Google ads partner to manage your campaign, you should be able to find one fairly cheap. Depends on how much you wanna spend. DM if you need a few names. Plus, they may be able to save money on campaigns, if you are not well versed in ad bidding etc.

Hmm... I lost my job over a week ago - and I had my work provided phone listed as my number. I also turned in my work laptop. That’s all I ever used. I know my username and password but Facebook wants me to send them a government ID to verify because I’m logging from a new device... which of course, I won’t send. Something fishy about the timing here...

On facebook at least you can pretend to be "gay" and say you are "worried about people finding out" and they will stop asking for ID.

Pretty much all advertisers have to be verified, but especially if you're running political ads. They're probably looking at the website and thinking it's political in nature so advertising for it is a political ad even though it's not for a particular candidate

If you've been advertising with Google ads for a year or more, you'll know that they've been making lots of changes the closer we get to the 2020 election. And it's pretty obvious it's all so that they can influence the 2020 election. They've said as much right after the 2016 election

Some of them genuinely believe that Russians are trying to help Trump and they want to make sure you aren't a spook. Most know that was all a lie and they just want to dox you because of your politics and hope you get killed by a mob.
