Google AdSense shows ads based on your activity though…
I've used this app for months and this is the first political ad I've seen. I avoid google as much as reasonably possible, and I don't really search news or political topics often. I get almost all my news from here, Reuters, or AP News. The only thing in this ad relevant to me is that it's Canadian.
Yes, but Sync uses Google Analytics for their analytics service. That means Google gets all of your activity on this app. If you browse the Everything channel even a little bit, it's flooded with politics and gun stuff. Now Google thinks that's something you're into. You can block it with the DDG app tracking blocker.
