>      AT&T says it's pulling its business from Google and YouTube
>    despite the Internet giant's pledge this week to keep
>    offensive and extremist content away from ads.  AT&T said that
>    it is halting all of its ad spending on Google except for
>    search ads. That means AT&T ads will not run on Google's video
>    service YouTube and on a couple million websites that take
>    part in Google's ad network.  "We are deeply concerned that
>    our ads may have appeared alongside YouTube content promoting
>    terrorism and hate," the company said in an emailed statement.
>    "Until Google can ensure this won't happen again, we are
>    removing our ads from Google's non-search platforms."
