Google served ads for several Fortune 500 companies and U.S. federal agencies on the website of an Iranian company 'specially designated' for sanctions, a new report says.
The report shows the potentially serious reputational risks advertisers face when trusting their ad dollars to the Search Partners network, experts said. GSP does not divulge where ads run to the companies that use it. Overall, Google earns more revenue from ads than any other online business site worldwide.
Google did not deny the ads appeared on the sites in question. However, in a statement, Dan Taylor, Google's vice president of global ads, said there is no evidence of 'revenue being shared with a single sanctioned entity.'
