That would make Google responsible for the work of police - you're saying that Google should be actively trying to identify "criminals" (by whatever definitnion of whatever state in US or even their legal departmeny - quotes deliberate) and prevent them from being able to do business in modern web world.

What do you think the number of different ads being displayed is, given how much each ad costs?
Estimates suggest it's about 30 billion ad impressions per day to earn that.
If each distinct ad gets 1000 impressions, that's 10 billion ads to review per year.
Let's be super generous, and assume it's 10k impressions, leaving us with 1 billion ads to review.
Let's further assume it's 1 minute per ad to review them, because people are super good at it. This will take 694440 person/days to review.
So to even give a 24 hour turnaround time, they'd have to hire 694,000 people.
If they pay them 65k each (yearly minimum wage in california), that's 45 billion a year.
This again, assumes we have ads with lots of impressions, it's only a minute per ad, and that we are okay with 24 hour turnaround time. Otherwise, it costs more.
It's really easy for people to play the "company makes x, they can afford y" game, but without real data it's sort of magical thinking.
I doubt humans could easily keep up with the review load here, at scale, at any reasonable cost/living wage.
