The key issue brought up in my article is that ad networks are choosing to allow advertisers to defraud the public.
These ad networks are playing the victim by tying their hands behind their back and refusing to do anything about the issue that they created. They all support link spoofing while simultaneously declaring policies that they don't effectively enforce.
As a result, I believe that these advertisers are effectively complicit with the fraudsters that "abuse" them.

- nkrisc 2y agoYou are correct and they absolutely are complicit. They have a fool-proof solution they refuse to implement: remove the feature until they can solve the problem another way. The fact they don’t is clear evidence they prioritize their own profits over the harm they directly cause. A fact that should surprise no one.
