Google has already blocked 3.1 billion ads

In 2020, Google blocked 3.1 billion ads that violated the company’s rules. The number of remote ads increased by almost 15%, and the company deleted 2.7 billion ads last year. The company annually issues the advertising security report to prevent malicious use of its advertising platforms, including Google Ads, and to ensure transparency in their fight against fraudulent activity. In 2020, Google partially restricted access to 6.4 billion ads that were supposed to be hidden due to the legal requirements in certain countries or for their “cultural sensitivity”. According to the legal requirements, in particular, 550 million banners were partially hidden: 80 million alcohol advertisements, 68 million — gambling ads. Another 354 ads were categorised as “other prohibited business activities”. Google also took action against 1.3 billion pages and 1.6 billion domains that violated publishing rights. 981 million of them contained erotic content, 168 million – dangerous or offensive content, and 114 million – weapons advertising. In 2020, Google blocked 3.1 billion ads that violated the company’s rules. The number of remote ads increased by almost 15%, and the company removed 2.7 billion placements last year.
