What did Google Ads clarify on 11 November 2026?
On 11 November 2026 Google posted a notice in the Advertising Policies Help Center titled Updates to Unacceptable Business Practices (November 2026). It says the public-figure impersonation part of that policy was clarified: ads that impersonate public figures using AI are not allowed, even if they disclose that they were generated or edited using AI. Google says the clarification helps advertisers understand the policy and does not change how the policy is enforced.
The policy page the notice links to now carries a note with that sentence. On that page a public figure is someone famous or well known. The list includes government officials, entertainers, athletes, online influencers and prominent business people, such as founders or CEOs of large companies. One example written on the page is an AI-generated video of well-known YouTubers used to make people think those creators endorse a get-rich-quick scheme. The ban described there is tricking someone into handing over money or personal information by pretending to be the public figure, or by pretending a connection that does not exist. The page asks for documented permission before a name, image, video or voice is used to suggest an endorsement.
The same policy treats brands separately. Impersonating another brand or business to obtain money or personal information is not allowed. The best-practice list says to use your own branding and to avoid another brand name, logo, images and colors in a way that misleads. Violations of this unacceptable-business-practices policy are treated as egregious: the page says the Google Ads account is suspended upon detection, without prior warning, and that the advertiser will not be allowed to advertise with Google Ads again. The 11 November notice does not create a new penalty. It says enforcement stays the same.
The Help Center says translated versions are not meant to change the policy and that the English text is the one used to enforce it. For a campaign in Brazil, read the English page, not only a summary.
What do Flow and Veo refuse to generate?
That is a different layer from the Google Ads rule. The Get started with Google Flow page says Flow prohibits knowingly generating harmful, illegal or inappropriate content. The example on the page is precautions to protect minors and uploaded photos of people, and that certain queries might not be generated. The same page points to the Generative AI Prohibited Use Policy.
That policy was last modified on 17 December 2024 and applies to Google products and services that refer to it. It prohibits, among other things, child sexual abuse content, non-consensual intimate imagery, sexually explicit content made for pornography, and violating privacy and intellectual-property rights. The example on the page is using personal data or biometrics without legally required consent. It also prohibits impersonating a living or dead individual without explicit disclosure in order to deceive, and it prohibits circumventing safety filters.
The Flow help page does not say that every real adult is refused, or that every logo is refused. What it writes is narrower: minors, photos of people you upload, and some requests that are not generated. For Veo on the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, the responsible-AI documentation, last updated 12 November 2026 UTC, describes filters. The Child category rejects requests to generate content depicting children if personGeneration is not set to allow_all or if the project is not on the allowlist. The Celebrity category rejects a photorealistic representation of a prominent person, or rejects the request if the project is not on the allowlist. There is also a third-party content category, described only as guardrails related to third-party content, with no brand list. That page is Cloud Veo, not a manual for the Flow button. An error such as the prompt could not be submitted, or that it might violate the policies, means a filter fired in that documentation.
To use Flow, the help page requires a verified age of 18 or older.
What changes for ads and Reels in Brazil?
The 11 November notice is about ads in Google Ads, not about a Reel on Instagram or a YouTube Short. If the clip is going into a Google ad, imitating a public figure with AI does not become allowed just because the ad says it was made with AI. The account can be suspended in the way that policy already described.
The credit spend happens before that. If Omni Flash generates the clip, that generation finished and the credits for it stay spent. The ad can then be disapproved, or the account suspended, and the clip does not serve the campaign. That is the waste: credits used on a video you cannot run.
For Reels, TikTok and Shorts, the Google Ads rule is not automatically the rule of the other network. What applies at generation time is still Flow and the prohibited-use policy: do not count on a video of a child, on an uploaded photo of a real person, or on imitating someone in order to deceive. A brand matters when the use violates intellectual-property rights, or when an ad pretends to be another business in order to take money or personal data.
The work that fits Omni Flash 1.2 is a product, a place, packaging you have the right to show, and an original character who is not a real person. On a paid plan the model makes clips of up to 15 seconds and charges by the second, including edits. Until 5 December 2026, Veo 3.1 Fast, Veo 3.1 Quality and Omni Flash 1.1 still generate. Google recommends new projects on Omni Flash 1.2 or Veo 3.1 Lite. The detail of that change is in how many credits Omni Flash 1.2 uses.
How many credits does Omni Flash spend, and when do they come back?
The Omni Flash 1.2 table on the Flow credits help page, per generation:
| Work | Who can use it | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Generate or edit up to 10 seconds, 720p | Every account | 3 credits per second |
| Generate or edit from 11 to 15 seconds, 720p | Plus, Pro or Ultra | 3 per second up to 10 seconds, then 6 per extra second |
| Generate or edit up to 10 seconds, 360p | Every account | 1 credit per second |
| Generate or edit from 11 to 15 seconds, 360p | Plus, Pro or Ultra | 1 per second up to 10 seconds, then 2 per extra second |
| Extend by 3 to 10 seconds, 720p | Plus, Pro or Ultra | 3 credits per second added |
Ten seconds at 720p is 10 times 3, which is 30 credits. Fifteen seconds at 720p is 30 plus 5 times 6, which is 60. At 360p, 10 seconds is 10 credits and 15 seconds is 20. Those totals are arithmetic from the table. The help page says limits can change at any time and asks you to check Settings on the prompt box before you generate.
Veo 3.1 Lite, on the same page, costs 5 credits per generation for an Ultra subscriber, for a 4, 6 or 8 second clip at 720p. For everyone else it is 10. That is a short test of a scene that does not depend on a real person, before Omni Flash is spent on the cut you will keep. The same page lists 0 credits for Lite in Lower Priority mode for Ultra 20x subscribers and family plan managers only. The ChugAx pages for Unlimited Credit do not list that zero-credit mode, so this guide does not promise it on a shared seat.
If the generation fails or hits a safety filter, Flow help says those credits are returned within one hour. The balance may update before the Google One credit history does. A blocked request is not described as keeping the credits forever. What that page does not return is a clip that was generated. Each new Omni Flash 1.2 generation and each edit is charged from the table again.
Unlimited Credit at ChugAx means the shop refills the Family Flow pool with no cap on how many times it refills. It does not mean a video costs zero credits. Refills run from 10:00 to 21:00 in Vietnam (GMT+7), which is 0:00 to 11:00 in Brasília, with 2 to 3 hours between refills. Outside that window the refill waits until support opens. It is not an instant, 24-hour service.
Which Veo 3 · Unlimited Credit plan fits?
ChugAx is an independent shop in Vietnam. It is not affiliated with Google, and it is not endorsed or sponsored by Google. It sells access to Google AI Ultra 20x plans. The price is in VND for the whole month. The reais figure is a reference at 5,200 VND per real. The dollar reference uses 25,800 VND per USD. The exact amount, in USDT or in VND, is the one the bot confirms.
| Plan | Who shares the pool | Price for the month |
|---|---|---|
| Veo 3 · Unlimited Credit · 1 member | The shop manages the Family. Up to 5 customers in that group share one pool. | 8,000,000 VND (about US$ 310.1, about R$ 1.538,46) |
| Full Family · Unlimited Credit | You manage the Family. You and 4 people you invite share the pool. | 40,000,000 VND (about US$ 1,550.4, about R$ 7.692,31) |
A creator working alone, who accepts sharing the pool with up to 5 customers in the shop-managed group, fits the 1-member plan. A group of five who want their own Family, with you in charge and four people invited, fits Full Family. Both plans refill the same kind of pool. People who share it spend it together: a celebrity test that the model actually generates takes credits from everyone in the group.
The written warranty for each plan is on what the warranty covers. This page does not summarize the exclusions.
How do you order from Brazil, and what a refill does not fix?
- Open the bot @chugax_gl_bot and choose the plan.
- The bot checks that the Gmail is eligible and states the amount and the payment method. Pay only after that.
- There is no Pix key. From Brazil the route is USDT bought with Pix (TRC20 or BEP20, whichever network the bot names) or Wise topped up with Pix, which sends VND to MB Bank. The steps are in Can I pay with Pix?.
- A new order is activated 1 to 3 days after the shop has the details and confirms payment. That timing is not the refill during the month. See paying from abroad and activation time.
The shop only needs the Gmail address. Do not send a password, an OTP or a recovery code.
- Google and Flow limits still sit on top of the credit count. A refill does not make Flow accept a child, a photo of a person that the precaution blocks, or turn a public-figure ad into an allowed ad.
- Credits for a blocked generation come back within one hour, according to Flow help. ChugAx does not promise a separate refund on top of that.
- Refills run only from 0:00 to 11:00 Brasília time, with 2 to 3 hours between them. If the pool hits zero in the Brazilian afternoon, the next refill waits for that window.
