Financial Times: An Islamist extremist accused of funding the 2009 Jakarta suicide bombings has been selling advertising space on his website to international brands including Citigroup, IBM and Microsoft using a service provided by Google. The ads were delivered to the site — which includes images of beheadings and hanged men — by intermediaries including Google’s AdSense, the world’s biggest online ad network, which take a cut of the revenues. After being contacted, Google cancelled the site’s account.
