    Google does not review advertisements. If you pay google for an ad, they do not verify it, they don’t check it, they just blindly publish it to their ad network.

    They rely on user reports, after the content is shown. As a result, google has no way to prevent this. Any objectionable or maicious content will be shown to users before anything can be done about it.

    The solution to this is simple, have a human watch and approve the ad before it goes live. But google will never do this.

      Maybe because it’s not actually that simple.

        maybe its time to make them responsible for damages from malicious ads and suddenly ads start to get reviewed
