Subject: Re: [IP] Google "disapproves" net neutrality ad
It's more likely that the ad was in breach of the Adwords guidelines instead of Google being evil, with the landing page being a PDF:
Destination URL
Your destination URL cannot link to an email address or a file. This includes an image, audio, video, or document file that requires an additional program or application to open or run.
