> dealing with user-generated content (like these ads) is hard.

That's not really an excuse because no one forces Google to be in the user generated ad business. They want money from advertisers so they should do all they can to offer the best service possible.

If the advertiser is not happy with Google's service, they are free to use another service.

"no one forces you to do X" argument cuts both ways?

Unfortunately that other service doesn't exist. Sure there are other places to advertise but for a lot of businesses it won't come close to replacing Adwords.

Google has such a large percentage of search traffic that your competitors who are not flagged will have a huge advantage over you.
