Every time I use MN on my phone, I get a picture of a black man (presumerably MJ) and a white woman, and this message. I have no intention of clicking on the link, as it reads to me like a racist dog whistle.
Can MN shed some light on this please?

Hi @MaMaLa321 thanks for this report. Are you able to provide a screenshot of the ad in question please?

Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this for you.

Hi @Bringmewineandcake thanks for the screenshot .

Please can you also send us the URL of the ad?

You'll just need to turn your phone/device to airplane mode or turn off the connection, and then click on the ad. This will show the URL which you can copy and paste without actually opening the webpage.

@StormzyinaTCup

Is it me or is there something a bit fishy/weirder than normal going on across the mumsnet site this week?

Helloo,

What else has been happening? Please do give us a shout if there's anything else going on besides annoying and sneaky ads.

@fucknuckle

i meant that MN are aware of the ads they host. the slightly puzzled ‘oh sneaky ads where do they come from, what are we like??’ routine response from admin is the ridiculous bit.

We have filters for the type of programmatic ads we will host (we don't book these kind of ads directly) but sometimes, unsuitable ads slip through the filters. When we're alerted to this, we block them pretty quickly but we appreciate it's annoying all the same.
