Google has disabled the majority of offensive keywords BuzzFeed found that marketers can use to target people interested in other anti-Semitic and racist topics as reported by Reuters.
As the world's largest advertising platform, Google not only allows advertisers to target people looking for "Why Jews spoil everything," but also advertises against "demon Jewish" search results and "Jewish control over banks," loaded with BuzzFeed.
These ads appear when the above keywords are searched and the Google ad platform records the number of people who open them, based on Google reports regarding those campaigns.
Google disables the keyword search after a BuzzFeed probe except one that says "blacks ruin everything."
"We have been putting out such a match and every successful ad, and will try harder to prevent this from happening again," Sridhar Ramaswamy, senior vice president of advertising at Google, said in an email.
The news comes a day after Facebook declared to temporarily disable advertisers' ability to target people based on education and certain jobs interested in anti-semitic topics.
Previously Google and Facebook from the investigation of several media in America caught participate popularize hate speech through their advertising platform.
