I suspect there's a vast grey area between what's actually against the terms of service and what some companies want their ads shown next to. For example, a video calling for Muslims to return to the middle East to fight in the jihad, with no actual graphic content, might not violate the TOS, but British Airways probably doesn't want their ad in the same zip code as that.
- williamscales 10y agoSure but then that just shifts the question to why aren't t ads simply manually disabled on those videos if they are being reviewed already?
- cpncrunch 10y agoBut why disable ads on a video that doesn't violate ToS? What they need is a "religious content" category, so people can choose not to have their videos there.
- williamscales 10y agoI mean, I think that disabling those ads is the entire point here. Ads are showing up on videos that don't violate the TOS but that advertisers don't want to be associated with. If 98% of the videos in question are getting reviewed anyway Google has a simple meatspace solution.
