> advertisers should stop allowing online outrage to dictate where they advertise

I agree, but good luck convincing the Tide executives that its okay for their ad to play before a video of a KKK rally.

Furthermore, how do you even create a content platform that doesn't police content and not have it immediately attract scores of users that are only there because they were banned from everywhere else, thus turning your platform into a cesspool that the more mainstream users avoid? (see voat.co)

If it's tagged 'racism (news)' and Tide says they're OK with that (Tide advertise after news segments like this all the time), sure, if it's tagged 'race relations' then maybe not.

Google can and should do better than a boolean for monetisable.
