Campaigners demand more government action after ads for the weapons are being promoted by tech giant
Google is profiting from ads offering lethal weapons for sale to people in the UK – including 17in zombie knives, “military tactical” blades and “zombie killer sword apocalypse machetes” – despite claiming to ban them.
Since 2015, the tech giant has prohibited the advertising of dangerous products that carry a risk of causing “serious and immediate harm”. This includes any knives that are “designed or promoted as products that can be used to injure an opponent in sport, self-defence or combat”.
