Google Served Ads For Products From Other Merchants, Google Will Issue Credits

The big Google Ads reporting outage from the eve of August 1st was an intentional outage due to Google serving ads for products from other Google Merchant Center accounts. This was not just an ad spend issue but also a privacy and data issue for Google advertisers. But don’t worry, Google will issue credits to the “small fraction of advertisers” that were impacted by this.
