    "Google announced late last year that it would add a label that reads "Not a government website" on ads for unofficial websites that sell government documents like driver’s licenses, passports, and visas. This tightened a policy that already restricted ads for the direct purchase of these types of documents to governments and authorized providers.

    And yet an Indicator audit found that only 8% of Google Search ads for sites selling visas at inflated prices were labeled as unofficial."
