Major Web Sites Hit With Suit Over Gambling Ads

Some gambling ads on Google, Yahoo and other major Web sites are illegal in California, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.

The 60-page filing, presented in San Francisco Superior Court, alleges that the companies sell rights to Web advertisements based on searches for terms such as “illegal gambling,” “Internet gambling” and “California gambling.” The online businesses also use geotracking software to target particular regions, including California, for illegal gambling ads, according to the lawsuit.
