Reports from Twitter, indicate that Google AdWords is rejecting ads related to the Brave Browser, the system behind the BAT token.
The ads have been rejected with the indication that they violate the general rules related to advertising on Google that protect users against scams and frauds, an accusation that seems very serious.
When questioned further, Google’s support provided an even more worrying response regarding the Brave browser:

Google vs Brave (BAT): a battle between titans

A tense move that could, therefore, be seen as the will to eliminate a dangerous new competitor and to hinder the development of tools that are dangerous for Alphabet’s business.
