StackOverflow has previously stated that its policy "includes but is not limited to running only static, non-animated banner[s], keeping all ads relevant to software development, not participating in real-time bidding or selling our inventory to ad networks. We are not selling user data or targeting ads to you based on any personally identifiable user data."And then they go and allow 3rd parties to run arbitrary Javascript in visitors browsers? That policy isn't worth the bits it takes to transmit it.
the site claims that "Every single ad to appear on any of our sites is vetted by the operations team."Exhibit A seems to contradict that statement m'lord.
