Two weeks ago, Google served me a sponsored link that led right to a malicious site trying to install malware. Not only did they not prevent this from being the top hit, they even profited off of it.
The link looked a little dodgy in hindsight. To me. I feel like a company like Google should pick up on it. But they just don’t give af anymore.

Then you should read @Kacerdias@pawb.social comment.
I forgot to mention that this was on a freshly installed osx. I had just pulled Firefox and was looking for the homebrew website. Google was the default search. I normally have it set to the duck or qwant but I just hadn’t come around do it yet.
I also never click on the sponsored links as a matter of principle but I was in a hurry and I was getting sloppy. But was always because I didn’t want them to have even more money, not because I thought those links could be harmful.
They only have to be successful once…
