Adalytics Finds YouTube Ads for Adult Products Are Shown to Children

Adalytics said it found over 300 brands’ ads for adult products, like cars, displayed on 100 YouTube videos for kids. The ads were particularly shown to a user not signed in on YouTube and linked back to the advertisers’ websites, which would tag the user’s browser with tracking software from Google, Meta, Microsoft, and other companies.

As I've said before, my own children have seen ads for pharmaceuticals while watching YouTube videos. Google doesn't seem to mind peddling drugs to kids and apparently neither do the advertisers who are paying for these ads.
