🚨 Important Update from iShook 🚨

This week, our team at iShook faced an unexpected challenge. Our Google
@AdSense
account, which is linked to all our publications, including our app and web platform http://BukharianPost.com—a vital source for local Jewish news in the tri-state area—was abruptly shut down by Google.

Here’s what happened: 🔄 We were conducting an internal audit to ensure all our sites are Google compliant. 🔧 We updated the robots.txt file as per Google's guidelines. ⚠️ Within 12 to 24 hours of making these updates, our AdSense account was shut down without any prior warning.
We immediately appealed to Google, explaining the situation and emphasizing our commitment to compliance. Despite spending over $25,000 to $40,000 and dedicating more than three years to this project, involving five team members, our account remains disabled.

I personally believe that this action was taken by someone with anti-Semitic motives. It’s too coincidental that our Jewish web app was shut down immediately after an update, without any clear warning. Usually, Google provides a chance to rectify issues, and we had no problem fixing any that arose.
We believe in transparency and fairness, and we are hopeful for a resolution that allows us to continue providing valuable content to our community. We appreciate your support during this challenging time.

Thank you, Benny Rachmanov CEO, iShook
