Just noticed today that on just this site via tapatalk a porn advert is placed in every topic.

Afaik, ads are based on your browse history.
Maybe he didnt type it,some member of his family or a friend can trigger those ads.

I know because i see ads like buy this pot garden of my google search o any website that kills the adblocking. The pot garden and buy news flowers its from the search its from my mother.Sometimes i seed ads from her religion and some of her prescription medics.My father its not a tech geek and my mother learns sometimes with me.

Unfortunately its not the case. I dont search porn on my phone.

And its not doing it on the other sites via tapatalk just on this site.

And tbh tapatalk shouldn't be showing porn links even if its finding the search tracker as its not appropriate for the site.

(Also, I'm pretty sure "ads are based on browsing history" is nothing more than an urban myth when it comes to things like these)
Not it isn't. Targeted advertising 100% exists, and is 100% pulled from your activity, especially so if you're using any kind of Google...well, anything.

https://support.google.com/ads/answer/1634057?hl=en <

Reasons you might see an ad
Your info:
Info in your Google Account, like your age range and gender
Your general location
Your activity:
Your current search query
Previous search activity
Your activity while you were signed in to Google
Your previous interactions with ads
Types of websites you visit
Types of mobile app activity on your device
Your activity on another device

Other info:
The time of day
Info you gave to an advertiser, like if you signed up for a newsletter with your email address
Google can personalize ads so they're more useful to you.

Personalized ads aren't shown or hidden from you based on sensitive categories, like race, religion, sexual orientation, or health.
Unless you specifically opt out (including on sites that use their own tracking cookies that aren't just Google's), your general activity is being tracked and used to customize ads for you, including "Adult" ads.

And Tapatalk certainly uses this kind of information to give you "personalized ads", as noted in their privacy policy. https://www.tapatalk.com/privacy_policy <

I'm not saying it doesn't happen, moreso I'm saying that the presence of adult ads doesn't always necessarily correlate with an adult browsing history. I think instantly replying "it's your browsing history" to the presence of adult ads is a bit misleading in that regard, as that isn't like... the only reason adult ads might show up.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
