It does not solve the issue fully, but consumers will surely avoid East European suspicious companies advertising. It will also make it easier for the security researchers to track down bad actors and will bring some liability to the ad platform (Google).
Facebook already does this for political ads, so it is doable.

#7I have seen similar but this one is VERY convincing. I would not have caught this. A "normie" would have no chance. Who know who many are infected.

#101) Use an ad blocker, always.
2) In advertisements, Google shouldn't allow the advertiser to modify the domain that is displayed. Really, why do they even do this?
3) IDN shouldn't be enabled by default.
