Veterans Ministry Says YouTube Blocked Their Ad Because it Included the Word ‘Christian’



A Christian speaker and former Special Operations marine says YouTube has censored an ad for his ministry to veterans.


Chad Robichaux said the word “Christian” was deemed a violation of YouTube’s policy. The notice from YouTube said, “The following keywords violate Google Ads advertising policies. Please remove the unacceptable content to continue.”

My parents always tell me that God put me here for a reason. The biggest thing I’d want Joseph (and others) to know is that even if people see you as different, it’s what’s in your heart that counts.


“This is something that is much bigger than soccer,” Pickett said of her relationship with Tidd. “It’s hopefully a lifelong friendship.”
