  1. You mean the horny singles in my area weren’t Micheal Martin after all?

  2. So much of youtube ads are porn site tier AI generated shite now about Elon musk and crypto.

  3. Good luck to him, it’s mentioned in the article also but these scammers aren’t located anywhere where you can effectively or practically seek a judicial remedy. You see the same thing with scam/hoax calls, texts, emails:

    “The Government or whatever regulator should do something!!!”

    What can the government or regulators do about a literal criminal sitting in a call centre or server room in Delhi or St Petersburg?

    Scam calls/texts could be curtailed with a bit more effective regulation, everything else, not so much…

  4. Was that the image of him and it said reputable politicians underneath it? Yeah scam.

  5. I wish Google would host scam adverts of me so I could have a payday.

  6. Google needs to be held responsible for the ads on their platform. Surely they need to review them.

  7. The FBI over in the US tells people to get ad blockers for your browser.

    Google doesn’t check adverts, if you pay you can put anything you want. Porn, scams, links to compromised sites you name it. Google doesn’t give a fuck they are laughing to the bank with 200 billion + a year.

    Protect yourself online.

  8. just so people are aware these are mainly no adverts, but rather when you search a topic “microsoft support”, google has nothing stopping scam centers paying for a sponsored link, which comes up as the top search results, leading to uneducated users clicking the first link they see.

    ​

    maybe if we make people go through a cyber safety course before being allowed to access the internet would help?

  9. Anyone else getting those endless AI generated deepfakes of Leo Varadkar and Elon selling crypto?

  10. Fair play, this is good leadership. Google have made too many billions off scammers stealing from people and businesses.
