Hi Nenah:
That's interesting, and I'll continue to watch this closely.
That said, a Russian hacker hacked one page on my site a few years ago
to run a malicious re-direct script to sell fake hand bags, and one of
domains was dropped without warning.
I found the issue myself, researched the policy (and then understood why
it had to be a zero tolerance policy).
Having found the issue, I corrected it, went through the re-inclusion
steps as outlined by Google (which allows you to explain the issue), and
was re-included.
The policy, as I understand it, is zero tolerance, zero exceptions, zero
excuses. As far as I've seen, it has not been abused.
It doesn't matter if the issue is on a subdomain or the main domain, or
even an old page, or even if another "user" or "ad network" places the
code. In my case, the page wasn't even part of my "linked" website.
About Natural News, here is what the Google technician wrote:
"Hi! I work with the Google Search team. We're seeing a bit of confusion
& incorrect stories circulating about what's happening here, so just to
be super clear -- Natural News is using a sneaky mobile redirect, which
is prohibited by our webmaster guidelines (there's a bit about this kind
of issue at
https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2015/10/detect-and-get-rid-of-unwanted-sneaky.html
). These redirects aren't always easy to reproduce, they're sometimes in
widgets or served by ad networks, and can target specific devices,
browsers, or user locations. When we last checked, there was one on
http://blogs. naturalnews.
com/bentonite-clay-a-natural-medicine-cabinet-must-have/ . As soon as
this is cleaned up, the site can submit a reconsideration request
through Search Console, and once that's reviewed things will return to
normal. No action has been taken based on the editorial content of this
site."

He quotes a statement received from Mike Adams, in which Adams addressed
the technical violations that Google said Natural News committed.

UPDATE: Here is a statement from Mike Adams (2/24):
"This morning, I was contacted by a Google technical person who directly
emailed Natural News. According to the email, a Google techie found an
obscure third party advertising script running on a tiny number of
articles published 3+ years ago under the blogs.naturalnews.com
subdomain, where content is posted by outside bloggers. (Many websites
host similar blogs, including the NY Times.)..."
"Just to be clear, this script was NOT running on the
www.NaturalNews.com primary domain, it was not part of any in-house
NaturalNews articles, and it was not even recent. It was from years ago."
"This third party script, identified as invoking 'cpxcenter.com', has
been so far identified on a grand total of 13 blog posts that were
posted from 2013 - 2014 under the subdomain blogs.naturalnews.com."
"Using this as their excuse, Google blacklisted the entire
NaturalNews.com domain, including all 140,000+ pages of content that
contained no such third party scripts, thereby 'silencing' Natural News
content by invoking an obscure, dated, barely-visible technical issue."
"This is the electronic equivalent of a rogue cop claiming, 'Yer tail
light is busted! Hee-Haw'!"
"In other words, Google scoured the entire Natural News site and all its
subdomains, including blogger articles, in order to find some
'justification' to ban the entire website. Even worse, they did not
issue any warning to Natural News on this 'Manual Action,' they did not
limit the content ban to the subdomain in question (blogs.) and they did
not even tell Natural News which URLs were being flagged by Google,
because that would have made it much quicker for us to identify the
issue they claimed was responsible for the delisting. (They only told us
about one URL today, after days of censorship of the entire website...)"
"But since then, we've discovered that Google's own Blogspot network is
running the same third party code! According to Google's own logic,
Google should have blacklisted the entire Blogspot.com domain. But they
haven't. Wonder why?"
