Google Busts Out The Ultimate Spam Fighting Tool: The Lawsuit

As an Internet behemoth with properties that get visited a zillion times a day, life battling spammers must be pretty tough for Google. Sure, they invent new technologies to try and stop these jokers. But like parasites, they quickly adapt and come up with new methods to manipulate the system. And when it gets bad enough, it's now clear that Google is willing to throw technology out the window and simply sue the bastards.

As they've announced on the Google Blog today, the search giant is taking a group of rogue pharmacies to court in order to stop them from�continually�bombarding Google's ad ecosystem with their spam. As Google notes, in this case, it's not just that the spammers are annoying users, they're potentially tricking people and offering products that "can be dangerous without the right prescription." So Google felt as if they had to act.
