Google revamps policy on ads and offensive content after UK YouTube boycott - The Verge

The announcement comes after an investigation from The Times of London found that ads from the UK government and some prominent companies were appearing alongside extremist YouTube videos, including clips that promoted white nationalism and homophobia. The UK government pulled its advertising from Google and YouTube following the report, and summoned the web company to the Cabinet Office. Major brands such as Audi, Marks and Spencer, and French advertising giant Havas later pulled their ads as well, prompting a public apology from Google’s head of European operations on Monday.
