Google does not review advertisements. If you pay google for an ad, they do not verify it, they don’t check it, they just blindly publish it to their ad network.
They rely on user reports, after the content is shown. As a result, google has no way to prevent this. Any objectionable or maicious content will be shown to users before anything can be done about it.
The solution to this is simple, have a human watch and approve the ad before it goes live. But google will never do this.

Maybe because it’s not actually that simple.

content managers who have been tasked with monitoring content like that have horrible mental health problems though.
Whenever I have heard stories like that it was human review of content that was already reported by users, which is the practice I am criticizing google for. Watching a curated list of abusive content will do that.
What I am describing is human review of every ad on the platform. There are very few mental health issues when the bad content is the vast minority.
