Google Admit Illegal Ads
Google have come under fire for profiting from illegal ads being placed on their search pages it’s been discovered in an investigation by the BBC.
Among the illegal ads were ones for cannabis, fake ID sellers and unofficial London 2012 ticket sellers. The ads have now been removed after the BBC warned Google of their existence and after the police stepped in to remove the illegal Olympic Games ticket sellers with Google being warned it was a criminal offense to sell tickets on the open market without permission.
The site however said it would be keeping all money made from the adverts before they were taken down, a move that’s bound to raise a few eyebrows.
