This is one of those situations where regulation of some sorts could help the business being regulated. If the government decreed that they're not allowed to pick and choose based on the content then the ad buyers couldn't do anything. It's unlikely this would ever happen though.

These regulations would greatly harm the ads industry: Google will be forced to place their ads on trash websites.

AFAIU Google is not yet the monopoly among the ad networks (it holds less than a half), so it’s too early to regulate.
