Ask HN: Anyone else have monetization halted by AdSense due to Ukraine policies?

It appears that the AdSense revenue for a major open source project I run was halted sometime this month. It seems to be around the time Google introduced a policy for sites that glorify or exploit the war in Ukraine. The site does neither but does offer software (Firefox, etc) in both Russian and Ukrainian among dozens of other languages and makes available a Ukrainian/Russian software suite for refugees. Has anyone else encountered this?



According to AdSense, the monetization isn't halted. Our level of 'invalid traffic' is staggering, though. We'll be keeping a closer eye on things.
