Misrepresentation?

I saw today screenshots of a website with annotations made by Google AdWords Support Team how to change a website to confirm with their advertising policies. Companies who rely on AdWords and Google traffic are really fucked. You change your site to their will or you are out.
Feels a bit like Amazon. When the products you sell on Amazon platform get a bit too successful Amazon claims the product for themselves and denies every other company to sell it on their platform.
So much power and no one who controls it. #don't be evil unless it is profitable :rofl

#^Misrepresentation - Advertising Policies Help
We don't want users to feel misled by ads that we deliver, and that means being upfront, honest, and providing them with the information that they need to make informed decisions. For this reason, we don't allow the following:
* promotions that prompt users to initiate a purchase, download, or other commitment without first providing all relevant information and obtaining the user's explicit consent
* promotions that represent you, your products, or your services in a way that is not accurate, realistic, and truthful
Below are some examples of what to avoid in your ads.
