Google has made a very important decision that will have a huge impact in the whole world, but a good one because it will help to a great extent to protect people from something that can even do them a lot of harm.
Google has announced that it is going to ban ads that promote people monitoring software, that is, those applications or hardware devices that allow monitoring people's location, without them knowing, or what they do on their phones.
Google has for some time banned applications of this kind in the App Store and Google Play Store, and now the time is coming for physical devices, or software outside the application stores, to be banned from company promotion.
Google sti how many advertisements of this kind are on its platform, it also knows how much harm products of this kind can do, whether software or hardware, so the decision taken by the company is, in the end, a very good one.
“In August 2020, the Google Ads Enacting Dishonest Behavior policy will be updated to clarify advertising restrictions for spyware and surveillance. The updated policy will prohibit the promotion of products or services that are marketed or targeted for the express purpose of tracking or monitoring another person or their activities without their authorization. This policy will apply globally and we will begin implementing this policy update on August 11, 2020.”
