Offensive ads are poisoning user experience. What’s the antidote?

Openly Offensive
Working from a coffee shop sounds charming, sipping a perfectly brewed coffee and browsing the web doesn’t sound too bad!
Until a pornographic ad takes over your screen and begins to blast audio. The ad covers your screen and refuses to budge as you scramble to chase the X and shut down the ad.
Nearly everyone with a computer has been in the awkward situation of having an inappropriate ad pop up in public or the office.
More importantly, explicit ads don’t discriminate. Even an innocent child may come face to face with explicit adult dating site pop ups.
Whether at home, the office, or a public space, sexually explicit ads are never welcome.
Destroying the User Experience
Pornographic ads are becoming more pervasive and more difficult to shut down.
Effectively destroying user experience.
For publishers, running explicit ads risks deeply offending and alienating audiences.
Repeated exposure to pornographic ads on a publisher’s site runs the risk of reputational destruction. A publisher’s passivity to the issue creates the general perception of carelessness, at the expense of their integrity.
No Second Chances
Currently, we are living in the era of internet ‘cancel culture’ and online call-outs.
Therefore, cancellations over just one incident are ordinary business as usual. In fact, publishers are one mishap away from a viral boycott– heightening the risk of serving explicit ads.
Publishers are now looking towards brand safety vendors using machine learning tools to improve monitoring and blocking.
