Are you saying that the top results in Google are paid results even then they don't have any markings/boxes/disclaimers indicating this is the case? I mean nothing surprises me anymore, but you'd at least imagine various regulators wouldn't be too happy about that.

Funnily enough, my adblocker blocks this page. In any case, the adblocker(s) I use (ublock origin in browser, pihole on the network) seem to block Google ads/paid search results. It does still clearly seem to be their policy to label all paid search results:

| This is a search result, not an ad. Only ads are paid, and they'll always be labelled with 'Sponsored' or 'Ad'.
