A few years ago I had trouble running an iPod related ad on Google, not because of Google but because of Apple. Is there any indication this is Google and not Facebook's doing?
Google recently suspended all my ads for advertising services (AdWords competitors) and for ad tracking services (Analytics competitors). These are sites Google had advertised for as long as 6 years without issue. The reasons all seem a stretch ( http://www.w3roi.com is suspended for 'misleading claims' - what claims?).

Poor analogy, but for internet businesses whose prospects find solutions through search, Google refusing service is going to impact you no matter where else you advertise. They're too big to easily substitute competitors.
Those might be from existing contracts or something, and after the whole email contact "reciprocity" spat I could believe some form of this is happening, but it would be nice to see some actual confirmation.
One potential reason for this: http://www.byrnehobart.com/blog/a-clever-adwords-hack-how-to... When people run ads pointing to a site they don't own, it's often in an effort to get an implicit endorsement from that site.
