By blocking billions of harmful ads, suspending millions of fraudulent accounts, and enhancing transparency through advertiser verification, Google fosters a safer and more trustworthy online advertising environment for users and legitimate businesses. For instance, AI-powered models were responsible for detecting and enforcing policy violations on 97% of publisher pages targeted in enforcement actions last year, expediting site reviews and preventing harmful ads from appearing on violative content. According to the latest Ads Safety Report for 2024, Google blocked or removed approximately 5.1 billion ads that violated its advertising policies, including scams, misleading content, and impersonation attempts.

The company also expanded its advertiser identity verification program to cover over 200 countries and territories, with more than 90% of ads viewed by users coming from verified advertisers. Google also co-founded the Global Signal Exchange with the Global Anti-Scam Alliance to enhance cross-industry information sharing and combat scams more effectively. Among these, more than 700,000 accounts were permanently suspended for engaging in public figure impersonation scams and other deceptive practices, resulting in a 90% reduction in reports of such scam ads. Google also managed 9.1 billion restricted ads in 2024, covering sensitive categories such as financial services, gambling, healthcare, and alcohol.
