SAN FRANCISCO — Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s presidential campaign is suing Google in a California court, charging her free speech was violated when the tech giant blocked her ad account in the hours after the first Democratic presidential debate.

With the Gabbard campaign’s Google advertising account suspended, it “had no possibility of putting up Google ads,” Dunne said.
“They had no ability to really speak to the people who wanted to hear from her’’ on Google’s platform, he said.
“To this day,’’ the campaign alleges in the lawsuit, “Google has not provided a straight answer” for the suspension…
