Google, as evidenced by this article doesn’t individually vet the places the ads are placed, they take a dragnet and algorithmic approach, and provide services to many advertisers. If anything all this speaks to that there is market for even better ad targeting, that can more easily pair those controversial topics with advertisers willing to be associated with them.
