Online marketers required to LinkedIn and Buy Twitter Verification to voice their issues.
Why This Matters Advertisers can not handle or optimize their
accounts without
correct access to Google Ads. Much more, Google Ads are still serving to users, but online marketers can’t see or respond to real-time performance. When marketing dollars are at stake, this is a big problem for companies of any size. If you’re used to weekly reporting, that’s another task you won’t have the ability to do till the
Google Advertisements issue is dealt with. This interruption is inconvenient for Google after their layoff announcement of 12,000 staff members on Friday.

Summary
Google Advertisements is still down for many users since Monday afternoon. After the Friday statement of 12,000 Googlers, concerns have emerged if these layoffs have affected the innovation and staffing that handles these platforms.
