Upsetting ad coming up . Has anyone else had this? It’s very triggering

Hi
twice today an ad has come up ‘40 genetic photos’ and an image of what appears to be a baby affected by a trisomy ? This could upset a parent who has suffered a loss due to this.
It really startled me (I’ve been through this) it could upset someone else ?

I’ve also seen it appear multiple times and it’s very distressing.

It said on it
‘40 beautiful genetics photos ‘ and ‘History all day’

was just a shock scrolling a random thread about a wedding programme 😞

We are so sorry that this happened.

The issue is, the advertisers who use the google ad slots can hide their keywords/urls from us which makes them really hard to locate.

We would kindly ask that if you see it again, you provide a screenshot and a direct link to the advert. We can use that link to block it instantly.
As it's an ad choices ad, it's unlikely we'd come across it ourselves.

We're really sorry for the inconvenience caused here and we will have it resolved ASAP.
