Google fined millions for advertising illegal drugs
Google has agreed to pay a fine of $500 million. The company was accused of allowing advertisements on its website for Canadian online pharmacies that illegally shipped medications to the United States.
With the fine, the internet company has averted a criminal case brought against it. This was announced by the public prosecutor Peter Neronha on Wednesday in the US state of Rhode Island, according to SDA. Google explained that its ad system had been susceptible to such abuse despite countermeasures.
