Google and Facebook put ads in child porn discovery apps
"WhatsApp is not doing anywhere near enough to stop the spread of child sexual abuse images on its app," said Tony Stower, head of internet safety at the child protection campaign. "The link-sharing apps were mind-bogglingly easy to find and download off of Google Play," Roi Carthy, AntiToxin's chief marketing officer told the BBC. "Interestingly, none of the apps were to be found on Apple's App Store, a point which should raise serious questions about Google's app review policies." After the first article was published, Google removed the group-searching apps from its store. As a result, removal of the apps from the store meant its system would stop placing ads in copies of the apps already downloaded on people's devices. It said in the future it would prevent ads being placed in any WhatsApp group search apps, even if Google allows them to return to its marketplace.
