Discussion Why is Google pushing gambling ads on default apps of our phones?

[iDJ]

These apps like Google Pay and Google Messages comes pre-installed on phones. Some of these like Messages and Dialer can't be uninstalled. These are pushing gambling ads. While Play Store carries a non gambling policy going in the length of banning apps like Paytm for gambling related issues. They don't seem to follow same ethics. I am sick of recieving these rummy, prediction or God knows what sick ads are.

Did anyone figure out a way to stop these ads apart from completely turning off RCS?
I wonder if these ads are pushed by our carriers or Google themselves.

I sent STOP a few times and I rarely get RCS spam now. Can't stop them completely though because new companies message every now and then.

Which sim do you use? Some companies like Axis Bank sends me ads ever after my STOP message.
And sometimes i get ads from "TAJ Rummy" since i already blocked "Taj Rummy".

Jio.

Axis used to send me, but ever since I sent Stop, haven't got message from them.

But yeah, new Rummy games or loan companies still randomly message me, rarely though.

There is no workaround. It's google not our carriers.
