Google Sues Dodgy Advertisers

Posted by samzenpus on from the we-said-don't-be-evil dept.

angry tapir writes "Google is at its wit's end dealing with illegal sellers of prescription drugs that market medicines on its ad network, so it has decided to take some of these allegedly rogue advertisers to court. Rogue prescription drug sellers have increased in number and become more sophisticated in their dealings, and 'a small percentage' of them have been able to dodge Google's efforts to block them from running ads on its network, according to the company."

      Well to be fair, if I had a costumer I would probably sue him too. Having a costumer probably explains why I am always dressed in a clown suit or the like.

    Well, what you should do is commit insurance fraud to really test that hypothesis. Then after you've been caught and convicted ask for your money back.
