alt Hacker NewsThe better thing would be to hold Google directly accountable for every malicious ad they allow through their network. If they cannot do that, they should not be in business selling ads then.
Yes, that means amending the law (in the US). But the law as it is written facilitates crime.

Idk if apple can validate each and every apps before publishing to appstore, why can't google and facebook validate each and every ads?
I mean, maybe we can try going after the scammers.. but we can’t even stop scam callers and junk mail
How would one hold Google accountable? By fining them $1bn? $10bn? $100bn? To them it is just the cost of doing business.
We're beyond holding huge companies accountable. The only way they could be held accountable is if there was personal risk involved for the CEOs. There isn't.
Agreed
It's not just malicious software ads, they also sell ads to entities mitming every government service.
