Google is profiting from ads for illegal products generated by its flagship automated advertising system, the BBC has found. The ads include unofficial London 2012 Olympics ticket resellers, as well as cannabis and fake ID card sellers.
Google did removed these adds once pointed out by BBC, but a) they keep the money they made, b) why they don't streamline their add placement processes to eliminate such issues ..........
"Just because it appears to have the weight of Google behind the advertisement, it doesn't mean it's legitimate - it can be quite the opposite."
