If by that you mean, spreading dangerous misinformation that jeopardizes millions and prolongs a deadly pandemic, then yes it is not very advertiser friendly.
For once I agree with Google, antivax nutcases should not be allowed to spread this shit when we’re so tantalizingly close to ending this pandemic.

I don’t know if Derpibooru counts as pornography. But you may need to consider leaving your country.

Problem is, they’ll likely abuse Google’s search alot more. And there’s gonna be a lot more antivaxxers cause of that.

There are many cases of empires rapidly disintegrating. The Soviet Union being the most obvious example, but also off the top of my head the Austro-Hungarian, Mongol, Mughal, Qing, and Hun empires.

This ironically happened before the end of the cold war if I remember correctly.

There were a number of former empires that collapsed and left nothing left, or very little left. Nothing that you’d call enough of a remnant to change and morph into something new. The empires of the ancient world were regularly obliterated from the world when their times were up; Babylon, Assyria, Athens (Dalian League), Rome, Cham Empire, Aztecs, Mayans, and so on.
Even later modern empires collapse and entirely disappear, but not as gloriously as the priests of Babylon being crushed by the statues of their own gods at the hands and winches of the victorious Assyrian or melted into ignominy. Simply put: the modern empire exists as not just a political entity but as an economic entity. The collapse of the modern empire is the replacement of one nation’s economic sphere with that of another. The Dutch and Portuguese, once pillars of European colonial imperialism are entirely gone; the Portuguese in fact collapsed so hard they are an accessory to French imperialism in West Africa, deploying troops solely to support French or NATO interests (if the former Yugoslavia).
The condition of empire necessarily is dependent on the relative phase of human history it is. During the times of post-tribal slave society the Empire was a strict domination of other societies and would itself be subsumed by other societies and subjugated as slaves to them. And then when the slave state was supplanted by the feudal state and Empire was merely the rule of a family (the Carolingians come to mind) and so on unto the liberal democracies and their markets today and their economic components - direct or indirect as they are - and they shall have their own falls and collapses from the world stage as the bitter and violent ends of the Cham, Egyptians, Romans, and the Elamites.

The goal isn’t about making antivaxxers go away, that’s impossible.
The goal is reducing their visibility and ability to impact swayable people.
Sure, they’ll go underground into their little echo chambers, but they’ll have a significantly smaller audience in doing so. The hardline antivaxxers will remain hardliners, but the less “middle of the road” people that encounter the theories the better.

None. These days the only way a powerful world leader goes down is if he’s caught in bed with a live boy or dead prostitute.

9 of the 10 states with the highest transmission and hospitalization rates voted for Trump in 2020, the 10th, Georgia, is still a “red state” at its core.
Meanwhile, all ten of the lowest transmission and hospitalization rates are Biden states.
In fact, on Statas tracker app, you don’t hit a “red” state until Ohio, which is 18 (including Puerto Rico) deep into the list, and it’s another 5 deep until you hit the next red state, North Carolina, which happens to have a Dem governor ironically.
The bottom half of the list starts with West VA, and stays red save for Delware and Missouri, and the Biden but Red state of Georgia.

It’s a legit concern too.
I’ve heard through some of my contacts here that GOP ops are freaking out. South West VA has the highest death rate by far in the state, and it’s the area that Republican candidates need to run up votes in to try and balance out NOVA, which has the lowest death rate.
There is a real concern among them that the disparity in deaths and hospitalizations might be killing or crippling enough conservative voters to affect the elections here in November.
