By charging for the prostitution services indirectly , ( check 2nd and 3rd ad) Google is acting as a PIMP. Technically Google breaks UKs law related to prostitution. Also notable is child racketeering I suppose with the title being "Buy GIRLS"...
Google plays a fare game, You can not put ads on ADULT/illegal sites, but ADULT/illegal ads can be present in Adsense.....
I think it is ridiculous. I think our kids are the ones getting hurt by this stuff. I am sure most pre-teen type in the word into the browser. I don't understand why wikipedia needs to explain the origins of the word and common every day use. This freakin' criminal in my mind. I also believe that ALL adult sites should be forced to have a .xxx domain extension and not allowed to advertise adsense in non .xxx sites. It is obvious that there is too much money out there that there is no stomach to change. But, this stuff continues invading our kids minds.
Obviously they never scan through or filter what type of ads that can appear in their network. Sometimes I even come across clear cut HYIP sites being advertised.
Wikipedia is ran by the people......So they cannot be blamed. There really is no finger to point here, the internet is just like the real world..... these obscene things are out there, but you just need to distance yourself from them. Nothings perfect.....
I try to respect all opinions, and although I have tried.. I honestly think you need to take a step outside, and see whats shaking in the real world. I mean, it is an ad, and its related to the search term. I would have thought any kid that searches the word FUCK in Google, would have already had there minds "invaded".. And chances are they learned the word from other kids at school or from watching afternoon TV. I am constantly amazed at how many people blame the internet and other types of media for the way there kids are... when in fact its the parents job to raise there kids the right way... Google was never intended to be a babysitter. Sharing my opinion. Cheers James
Looks like most of them share my opinion. I totally agree that the ads are not prostitution ad and its more like a dating ad. Lets keep two things in mind before we start assuming things. 1. Adwords ads run intermittently once they are created. So it's possible that they are show up even before the filters caught them/they got approved. 2. Google allows adult ads/porn ads but has a policy is against prostitution. Unless the ad is explicitly about prostitution, its well within the terms n condition. I couldn't sense that these were prostitution ads...Wonder how u came to that opinion. If you really think these are prostitution ads then you should report it. Communityn
Those ads are harmless, they're just dating sites. The most laughable part of your post is the assumptions you made for "Buy Girls"! Judging from the line visible underneath it is something to do with UK TV presenters and personal shoppers, Trinny and Susannah. The only thing that they are guilty of is a crap tv series
As for the 'Buy Girls' ad, I suggest you look up trinny and suzannah. They host a fashion TV show in the UK. You should at least click on the ads before you start judging them!
