    Better seen on Pornhub next to some anal fisting than on Twitter/X next to blatant nazi propaganda.

      Be quiet, the only reason you can masturbate in peace without being flooded with ads is because advertisers think it hurts their business.

      It’s more of a major goof on googles part than anything bad. These big prudish companies will start to pull ads if they think their brand is at risk. Apple has had rumors of expanding their ad network so if Google keeps slipping they might step in.

      The headline leaves out the most important part. Ads aren’t only being shown on porn sites, but they’re also appearing on websites that are hosted by sanctioned countries (eg, Russia). If those websites are getting kickbacks from Google, that violates laws. The EU is already investigating it.

    Many sites have to get rid of adult content because of complains. Now what they are also going to blame porn sites for having porn?

    Youtube: Nooooo!! You can’t say the fuck-fuck word in the first three minutes of the video and you can’t cover content that isn’t friendly to our advertisers!! If you do anything out of line we will demonetize you!!!
    Meanwhile, Google:

    As usual, redditors lemmings commenting on an article they haven’t read. This isn’t just about your brand appearing on a standard porn site. It’s also about your brand appearing on disinformation sites like Breitbart. Also, if your ads appear on those sites, it means that very probably your money is ALSO going to those sites.

    I know that when I’m watching two hairy jocks fuck each other’s brains out is exactly the moment I’m thinking of buying a new set of LG kitchen appliances at The Home Depot’s Black Friday sale.

        Just as he’s lifting the bottom’s leg to get that undercarriage shot, I’m looking at the dishwasher he’s being fucked against. The sleek stainless steel finish. The touch controls. Is that GE Profile? How many decibels is it? I bet it’s under 45! I bet they’re doing dishes right now, and I can’t hear it!

          If they’re having a piss and cum soaked orgy on the bed but in the next scene those sheets are clean then yeah I’ll have a look at that washing machine.

    Hold on a second.

    Someone saw these ads and thought “I should admit to my porn habits to spread this information that materially doesn’t affect me, but puts revenue in Googles wallet and probably doesn’t harm the big brands at all?”

      Contract violation for brand safety and media buy. Possibly fraud.

      Imagine buying a vegan gluten free cake for 30 bucks. The baker gives you a dairy and gluten cake actually worth 15 bucks retail price.

          Advertisers by media (ad space). That ad space is usually defined by parameters or attributes. It could be based on characteristics of the user, like demographic or audience (like car shoppers), but often has other criteria of content attributes, and that can be negative attributes, like no ad space on porn sites or on pages where my direct competitors also have ads. So when Google misrepresents that ad space to the advertiser that had those specific parameters on the deal, it’s a problem.

    If Google had actual people curate the ads and where those ads were displayed then this shouldn’t happen.
