ORANJESTAD (AAN): The youchoose.net web site purchased ads from the Google Ads service and their promotion[al campaign] was to ‘Boycott Aruba’.

By misfortune, DIARIO Online was also running Google ads and on the weekend, various visitors to DIARIO’s web site ran into the campaign to ‘Boycott Aruba for Natalee’.

The content of the ads depends on Google and DIARIO doesn’t have any say in it. They are fed to DIARIO every time with hundreds of ads related to ‘Aruba

By bad luck, the one of ‘Boycott Aruba’ appeared on the DIARIO web site. The DIARIO Daily has clearly indicated that it does not support the boycott. Because of this, management is upset that Google Inc. used space obtained on DIARIO Online to promote the propaganda of Boycott Aruba.

Various DIARIO Online readers reported what was happening and showed that they understood that DIARIO has no say in the content of Google Ads, but they found that something had to be done.

For this reason, the decision was taken that DIARIO Online will stop using Google Ads on its web site.
