Web Users Get Together to Sabotage's Rudy Giuliani's Google Campaign

    There was a story today about how web users on sites like Reddit have come together just to click on Rudy Giuliani's Google Ads to cost his campaign money. It seems as if he has pulled some ads, but I would suggest to everyone to block Giuliani's ads from appearing so that if someone happens to visit, there is no risk of click fraud. Hundreds of thousands of people clicking would cost the campaign a ton of money.

    Thanx for the heads up. They probably don't realize that owners of those websites are going to suffer just because these people don't like him for whatever reason. But removing his ads might just be playing into these idiots' hands so instead I'd wait to see if Google doesn't come up with a special solution in case this does happen to you. Especially since this is public.

    Thank You
