> when people complain that Google was showing them ads for inappropriate products or what not and Google would investigate and track down the front doing the injecting

google listens to complaints? i suspect they discover these things internally, not from user reports.

The challenge of discovering it internally is you have to have the injector installed and it has to fire on queries.

I believe Google is sensitive to complaints here due to legal jeopardy. That I am aware of, Google has been forbidden from showing advertisements from Canadian pharmacy's and Payday Loan vendors. Both things which pay well for clicks and you're basic slimeball Adtech guy is going to inject into Google pages when they think they might get a click.
