600 applications removed from Google Play Store due to ads
Google has removed 600 applications from its store because these applications publish advertisements that may harm users and harass them. Most often, users feel aggressive advertisements launched on their phones, especially when these advertisements are presented by an application that is not even used on the phone.
This type of advertising is banned by Google, and the search giant has banned a group of developers who adopt this method in their applications.
Google has removed nearly 600 apps from the Google Play Store, according to cnet. The company says that the program developers violated the company’s disruptive advertising policy and are not permitted by these policies. The developers have also been banned from the Google AdMob and Ad Manager platforms.
The Android makers define disruptive ads as “ads that are presented to users in unexpected ways, including by harming or interfering with the usability of device functions.” An example of this is when someone calls someone else on the phone and an ad for an app pops up.
Google says it found these types of applications by developing a machine learning-based approach and will combat them aggressively.
