Google Play Shop removes 600 software over mobile ad fraud
22 February, 2020
Google announced that it took down hundreds of programs from its official Take up Shop for violating its ads policy.
As the official blog page notes, nearly 600 software have been taken off the Google Play Shop and banned from ad monetisation platforms, Google AdMob and Google Ad Manager, over mobile phone ad fraud.
These bad software displayed 'out-of-context' disruptive ads to users in unexpected ways, including impairing the usability of device functions. Google produced a machine-learning based method of detect when software show out-of-context ads.
