Google finally cleans up its Esta ads after eight years (23 Nov 2018)
"Google says it will stop ads for expensive unofficial Esta services appearing at the top of search results, eight years after the first complaints.
In 2010, the US started charging UK travellers to use the Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (Esta).
Unofficial sites charging five times as much as the US government soon flooded the top of Google's search results, despite breaking Google's ad rules.
Now, after a BBC News investigation, Google says it is tackling the issue."
