Google Reports Significant Ad-Related Action in India for 2025

Google Blocks 8.3 Billion Bad Ads and Suspends 24.9 Million Advertiser Accounts in 2025

Google has released its '2025 Ads Safety Report', detailing its efforts to combat malicious advertisements and protect users worldwide. According to the report, the tech giant blocked or removed over 8.3 billion bad ads and suspended 24.9 million advertiser accounts globally in 2025.

The integration of Google's AI platform Gemini has significantly improved its ability to detect and stop bad actors in real-time. This is particularly important as scammers increasingly use generative AI to create deceptive ads at scale. Google's Gemini platform has allowed the company to analyze hundreds of billions of signals, including account age, behavioral cues, and campaign patterns, to stop threats before they reach users.

99% of Bad Ads Blocked Before User Exposure

The company reported that over 99% of the 8.3 billion bad ads removed globally were stopped before they were ever seen by users. This demonstrates the effectiveness of Google's Gemini platform in preventing malicious content from reaching its users.

In India, Google blocked or removed 483.7 million policy-violating advertisements and suspended 1.7 million advertiser accounts in 2025. The top five policy violations that led to the removal of advertisements were related to trademarks, financial services, copyright, personalization violations, and abusing the ad network.

Gemini Enhances User Report Processing

The Gemini platform also helped process user reports more efficiently, enabling action on four times as many user reports in 2025 compared to the previous year. This demonstrates the significant impact of the Gemini platform on Google's ability to combat malicious advertisements and protect its users.
