UK Government to grill GOOGLE over funding extremists with taxpayers' money
Google officials have been summoned by the UK government to explain why its advertisements on YouTube help fund extremists with taxpayers’ money.
The Guardian newspaper said Friday it was joined by the UK Cabinet Office in scrapping millions of pounds in YouTube and Google marketing after an inquiry showed banned hate preachers receiving payouts for featuring public-funded ads.

"Google is responsible for ensuring the high standards applied to government advertising are adhered to and that adverts do not appear alongside inappropriate content," a government spokesperson said, as quoted by The Guardian.
