I advertise malicious software on Google Ads

The author released RACE, a Rust-based macOS terminal multiplexer packaged as a signed, notarized DMG and hosted on Cloudflare, alongside a static Bridgetown site that includes only Cloudflare Analytics JavaScript. After spending $500 on Google Ads, Google suspended the account for “Malicious software” and “Compromised Site,” despite clean VirusTotal, Google Safe Browsing, and Search Console reports and a security review showing no malicious code. Appeals were denied without specific evidence, preventing further advertising of the tool.
