/"the most important thing I think Google must do is to disable targeted political ads if they continue to allow them in any shape or form."/

No. They are restricting just one type of targeting.

>Google is extending a ban on political campaigns targeting advertising at people based on their supposed political leanings.

>It said political groups would soon only be able to target ads based on "general categories" such as age, gender and rough location.
