Google exec says advertising problem is 'very, very, very small'

CBO Philipp Schindler downplays issue with extremist material, as spokesman says flagged videos received small fraction of brands' total YouTube impressions

Google's chief business officer, Philipp Schindler, has claimed that the company's problem with adverts running on extremist material on YouTube affects "very, very, very small numbers", but that the company has implemented a wide range of features to try and solve it anyway.

"It has always been a small problem", Schindler told Recode's Peter Kafka, "and over the last few weeks, someone has decided to put a bit more of a spotlight on the problem."
