Why should we take advice from the FBI?

I don't, but Google is presumably not pleased to hear the FBI say "Cyber criminals purchase advertisements that appear within internet search results". https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2022/PSA221221

The FTC, other regulators or courts in the countless cases against Google may also use such a statement as validation that fraud is rampant.
