All highly automated and nothing personal. We got some porn ads here a few years ago, IB intervened to ensure their ad service disabled that.
ok well this is all good to know. I am just tech-y enough to get by. I guess I’ve seen weird ads, but this was the most risqué ad I’ve seen here. I operated off the assumption that the host, IB, had some ability to adjust the risqué-ness of ads allowed to be associated with IB’s brand. Weird that it got up to porn level advertising.
