They may contain pornographic images, lead to fraudulent sites, or suggest that users download software that is infected with viruses. These type of ads cheapen the internet services they are displayed on in the eyes of users and breed distrust toward online ads as a whole.

For example, Yandex "s search engine uses a that gives preference to pages that don" t contain harmful or unpleasant ads. Sites containing these types of negative banners are found in lower positions within the search results.
Aggressive and offensive ads
Banners with graphic images of various disasters and survivors of violence, creepy characters from horror movies, worms and parasites, displays of various diseases and deformities, infected organs and ulcers and grossly obese people. Close-up drawings and photos of private parts and childbirth. Ads with messages about the death of celebrities or predicting the end of the world.

My ad network is “white” but the moderators sometimes allow shocking banners through. Will my network be blocked?

My ad network is gray; both shocking and regular banners are served on sites. What should I do to prevent my network from being blocked?
We recommend putting the shocking advertising in a separate independent section. Then Antishock will not block normal ad sources.
Can Antishock block a major ad network such as Yandex.Direct?
The Antishock algorithm very rarely finds shocking ads and banners among those served by Yandex. Direct and other major ad networks. This is primarily because ad content is automatically moderated and then selectively checked manually. If an ad network carefully moderates its ads, Antishock will not block it.
