According to a new Google report,
the search giant disabled more than 780 million "bad ads," including
include ads for counterfeit products, misleading or unapproved
pharmaceuticals, weight
loss scams, phishing ploys, unwanted software
and "trick-to-click" cons, globally last year.
This marks a 49 percent increase over 2014.
For perspective, it would take an individual nearly 25 years to look at
the 780 million ads Google removed last year for just one second each,
according to Google.
If the trend continues, Google's team of more than
1,000 staffers dedicated to killing spam will be even busier in 2016,
and they could disable more than a billion junky ads.
