HTTP contains JavaScript, and theoretically anything can be executed within the browser (I've seen people mining bitcoins!).
Google can't monitor an execute every HTML snippet, but they doing pretty great job sampling responses and evaluating some of them. Fraudsters are smart, and trying to understand if the code is executed on Google's servers, but overall they are loosing.
It seems like a case where google's system didn't work.
By they way, all google partners are listed here: https://developers.google.com/third-party-ads/adx-vendors. Usually, it's possible to track down who's exactly responsible by looking at dev console
Overall, Jitsu tries to decompose (aka flatten) JSON as deep as possible. E.g. {a: {b:1, c:2}} will become a_b=1, a_c=2. If column is missing, it will be created. We don't decompose arrays so far
Downside: you'll need to build all visualization by yourself. Fortunately that's easy with tools such as Looker, Mode, Metabase etc
Upside: you can do with your data whatever you want - built any reports, join with other datasets etc. You not limited by reports MixPanel team build.
In reality, Jitsu and MixPanel could co-exist. Jitsu support s MixPanel as a destination (e.g. you send data to Jitsu ; Jitsu sends it to MixPanel and data warehouse).
