Advertising technology firm Adalytics has found that Google is placing ads for many high-profile Australian companies on Russian and Iranian websites; both countries are subject to international sanctions. Telstra, Qantas, National Australia Bank and Woolworths are among the local members of the Google Search Partners program whose ads have appeared on these sites, as well as pornographic sites. Qantas and Telstra have temporarily suspended advertising via Google in response to the revelation.
