Google will update its Google Ads Enabling Dishonest Behavior policy to globally ban advertising for spyware and surveillance technology known as stalkerware starting with August 11, 2020. Stalkerware tech allows third-parties to monitor one’s mobile device without the user’s knowledge. The company says it specifically targets ads promoting spyware tech used for intimate partner or spouse surveillance. Google customers are advised to review the policy updates to make sure that their ads don’t fall within the scope of the newly updated policy.
