And they profit off every phishing scam and malware attack that utilizes GOOGLES OWN AD SERVICES

Fuck tech giants and fuck the FTC/FCC for sitting on their ATT backed asses for as long as they did. The damage is already done.

Common man, Google profits from everything. I know, fuck them but they don't actively take part in that.

Their policy is to reject this kind of ad — this article is basically a plea to get them to enforce their own policy. It'll probably work too, for a little while.

If thats true then so be it, then they should definitely uphold this, fuck such propaganda websites spreading fake shit.

Judeo-Christian values should have been the red flag on the outset. It doesn't mean following the "love thy neighbor" parts of Jesus's teachings; that's code for "white, heteronormative, Fundigelical Authoritarianism."

Lying to bring about what he envisions is God's Kingdom™, especially when he believes lying is justified due to how he believes God can forgive his lies for the Greater Good™, is unsurprising.

I don't doubt he believes in the god he professes, I just think he's a fucking psychopath with a twisted morality and epistemology.

Headlines about Google doing evil shit used to surprise me. Then they became an ad company.
