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

        without being flooded with ads

        You never went to a random porn site from Google search with a dozen pop-ups and 30 consecutive re-directs?

          Why would you want to use a clearly SEO-centered clickbait site when pornhub, xhamster and xnxx exist?

      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.

            They would have only seen that combination if they had gone looking for the vagina though…

              You are assuming that they think rationally

            Nah, they will just get mad and still buy the MacBook because their beliefs are not actually sincere.

      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.

      Because the porn industry is rife with exploitation and trafficking and underage individuals and exploiting addictions and sexual abuse?? Come on it’s not that difficult to put the pieces together.
