    Islam takes offense with dogs. Should dog websites not be allowed to have advertisements either?

      It’s about what the advertisers themselves have said. They supposedly don’t want it. It matters fuck-all what you or me think.

      Dogs? What?

      Anyway, nobody’s saying certain sites shouldn’t be allowed to have ads. The issue is which ads are shown on which sites. Advertisers don’t want their ads showing up next to content that their target audience might consider offensive. They also don’t want to waste their ad budget showing ads to people who aren’t likely to respond to the ad. The ability to pair ads with content that appeals to a certain audience is the whole reason Google is such an effective advertising platform.
