Abortion clinic ads in Australia blocked in error, Google says

Abortion providers in Australia noticed a sharp drop in traffic from Google ads in the last week

Google says it has corrected a mistake that blocked ads for abortion providers from appearing in search results in Australia.

Abortion clinics in Australia reported a significant drop in traffic in the last week, as first reported by the ABC, with clinics such as the Macquarie Street clinic in Sydney stating their bookings had dropped and the phones had stopped ringing due to their paid ads not appearing in Google search results.
