So i saw several ads for the German AfD Party (Neo-fascists). I will gladly pay to remove ads but knowing that these ads would still be shown to others here i would rather not support this app in case this continues. Anything that could be done about it?

They're currently running a big campaign on Google Ads. Maybe try to raise a stink with Google about them allowing political advertising, especially for parties which have been judicially confirmed to be partially right-wing extremists.

i'm actually surprised that politics isn't one of the sensitive ad topics that you can switch off in google ads settings.

probably because political parties are willing to pay an unsavory amount of money for these ads
