Not that I'm really surprised by Google's action, but "fraud" is a pretty strong word for what's happening, and pretty disingenuous IMO. No one's pretending to be anyone they're not.

On their FAQ page AdNauseum reproduce the following definition of click fraud to argue they're not engaging in it:

The practice of ... clicking on an advertisement hosted on a website with the intention of ... draining revenue from the advertiser

Elsewhere on the same page they've even gone to the extent of explaining how they calculate the average revenue they think each simulated click drains from the entities they wish to "resist"
