Google Adding “Dating” to Its Sensitive Ad Category

Posted on May 2, 2022

Google sensitive ads categoriesTHE VERGE – Google is expanding its sensitive ad categories options, letting users limit how many ads they see about dating, pregnancy, parenting, and weight loss, and making those settings apply to more places. The feature was introduced as a way to let people see fewer ads on YouTube about potentially addictive gambling or alcoholic products, but now it seems that Google is expanding it to cover other potentially uncomfortable subjects. The settings will now apply to all of Google's Display network, not just YouTube ads.
