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

[whatanoddthingtoask]

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 ?

It has literally just appeared at the bottom of this thread when all I was doing was reading the comments, it’s so insidious! Can’t believe such an upsetting photo is allowed to be advertised like that.

@MNHQ really?????

😭

It’s very distressing and should be removed immediately. It came up on my feed seconds ago so clearly nothing has been done about it

Hi all

We agree it's not on and we are keen to block it - but we cannot do it without the URL. Adverts on choices by google can hide their identity and so unless we found it ourselves, it wouldn't necessarily appear for us. You can get the URL by clicking on the ad. As soon as we have this, we can put a block in place.

It’s on this thread. It’s a very graphic image. Please remove. It is not respecting anyone’s dignity for it to be shared.

It’s basically the only ad I’m seeing anywhere. Even twice on this thread. Please can it be removed?

I’ve just seen it three times in five minutes, I reported it to Google - how do I find URL? Very upsetting

Ok if I see it I will try and get the URL

Omg that's horrible 😭

It's incredibly distressing especially as I lost a baby due to a trisomy.

This is not on I'm afraid and has quite upset me even though it happened nearly 30 years ago

All I'm getting is IVF and the brit awards but I'll keep trying.

This one is not nearly so unpleasant but has images I don't expect to see on a parenting site.

Oh my god, I’ve just had this and it is incredibly upsetting.

And now there’s a screenshot of it on the thread. Please can it be deleted @LilyMumsnet

That poster should not have posted a screenshot either. Awful 😔

Sorry can this have a trigger added to title? (Not aimed at OP) @LilyMumsnet but ad now coming up on thread. It's very distressing, I'm heavily pregnant, quite unwell with it and heavily stressed about things in general.

@LilyMumsnet
Delete the post on this thread at least please this is not ok

Mnhq have explained they can't delete it from a screenshot. It's not unwilling, it's impossible!

I’m more than a bit shocked that this has been possible to sort much quicker and without a poster needing to click on the link.

I had to scroll past that pretty fast. I can see why people are feeling distressed seeing the ad

It’s horrific.

Fuck's sake. I'm not by any means a snowflake but that image has just popped up and it's very distressing. I'm sorry but I can't bring myself to go back and check the URL 😢

Why has some absolute idiot posted a screenshot on this thread? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? Unbelievable
