I saw a paper-writing service ad pop up on OS the other day, which seems quite at odds with the ToS, and just good educational ethics. Is the ad space monitored, and if so, shouldn't an ad for an essay factory be prevented from loading?

Question

The ads are provided by Google and based on the users interests and browsing history.
Openstudy can block certain types of ads (like erotics and stuff) but I don't think they can turn off specific ones like a cheating service.

i figured the ads were controlled outside OS, it just seemed very out of place, thanks!
