they are doing that. Quite stupidly tho. They are banning advertisements with common terms, such as BitTorrent which albeit being a trademark is also name of a common protocol. That's the term i best remember, but there was others, that's when i stopped AdWords completely.
In any case, adwords was worthless and over priced for us, didn't lead to enough sales to justify the cost (something like 100€+ per sale cost), one of the least effective advertising we have done. The very same ads, well same content, did elsewhere at best ~4.8€ cost per sale!
We tried probably 150 different ads.
Especially bad was advertising on other sites/"content partners" or whatever it was called, we spent a lot of money on that for exactly 0 sales.
Ads on google search atleast yielded some sales.
Also the management interface was a bit worse nowadays, some things wasn't as easy to do anymore. It used to be a lot simpler and easier.
Same problem has happened with google analytics, the new interface overcomplicates things (we have dozens of sites being monitored).
