This could turn out to be a very dangerous precedent to make, and not good news at all for any listing related startup.
Even if you don't want to host these illegal ads, and you put measures in place to block and remove them, you might still be held liable. I'd hope they go after the main violators (both of the law and Adwords ToS) and not their unwilling messengers.
- alextp 15y agoIf all providers start actively trying to not touch these ads the expected incentive of posting them will go down; hopefully enough so that they end up having to negotiate directly with websites or something like this.
