Why Google cares

Original, substantial, and useful content is the #1 driver of approval. This check is part of that category — even a few non-compliant posts can sink the whole application.

How to fix it

Remove or unpublish any posts touching restricted categories per AdSense Program Policies.

How this affects your readiness score
