Clickbaity horrible advert (TW: domestic violence)

[justasoul]

I just had this absolutely vile looking advert appear in the middle of a thread. It shows a photo of Sara Cox with a bruised face (fake as I have reverse searched the image) and has a red box below saying “now we know that the rumors are true.” (spellings like that). I have screenshot but not sure whether to
post it. It was 08.21 and I’m on Safari on an iPhone 13. Not sure what it linked to as when I came back from screenshotting it the advert had changed.

ETA: it was on the ground rice post, if it makes any difference.

Been getting these horrible ads too for the last couple of days. Even if I click on the ad to say it's inappropriate - all the happens is that I get more of them.

I even got this one on this very thread

The Jeremy Clarkson one was from earlier today

I had the Sarah Cox picture pop up on my game, everytime I completed a section it was there.
I'm not going to use that game anymore it's vile to do something like that to a well loved celebrity or anyone for that matter.

It’s horrendous isn’t it

didn’t Tim Berners Lee say that the internet can be policed a lot more than it is, but the dominating companies just don’t want to do it?

mine was Martin Lewis because I use his site.

Mine was weird because I have no connection to any of the celebrities involved

Ditto. Don't watch or listen to (or have any interest in) any of the "celebs" (some of whom I don't even recognise)

We had an influx of these clickbait inappropriate ads a few (many?) months ago as well.

Both MN and Google need to re-check their filters.

Thanks for all your help in tracking this down. They should all be blocked now but please do let us know if you spot anything like it again that has managed to sneak through.

There's more violent images this morning on Mumsnet. I don't know who the woman is. Bruised, cut face. Text something like "now we know the rumours are true". Is this a targeted thing? I saw this image whilst reading a thread about rape, FFS.

I've just seen one on this thread

Just came to Site stuff to report this

it’s awful

not seen it anywhere but here this morning.

I am seeing them as well. Say " this wasn't supposed to be public" with domestic violence picture

I am on iPad and it's appearing on most threads

@HebeMumsnet these horrible ads are back and all over threads this morning. There are a couple of posts on Site Stuff about them.

I've seen them again several times today too, think the image is of Rachel Reeves (Chancellor of the Exchequer). Have reported them to Google as inappropriate but that didn't seem to make any difference last time.

Same here it's awful

It's still an issue, today I have reported them to Google on the actual advert, as inappropriate.

These were on the Wynn Jones Katya thread just now. I'm on the iOS app.

Do these only appear on Mumsnet?

Showing images of bloody, violently battered women to a website of women seems like targeted hate* to me.

Imagine this happened with a website for any other protected characteristic. It would make the news.

The image even appeared on the page where I was making the report! Really shook me up how horrible it is. And it means I'm mostly going to avoid MN today until I've heard back from hq.

*Of course, it's not actually a hate crime because good old cosy traditional misogyny is simply the air we all breathe.

These are still appearing, Rachel Reeves, Sarah Cix and now one with Alex Jones has just appeared on a politics thread I was reading. To begin with was another advert and then it changed to the DV photo. Every thread I've been on this morning they've been popping up.

https://risk-reward-news.com/YiGURhh?adset_name={{adset.name}} I've just had this one on this thread

I'm seeing the Rachel Reeves one several times on this thread (and others too)

I’m seeing Rachel Reeves constantly and someone else I don’t recognise, currently on this thread, but also on anything else I go on

I just had one twice on this thread. Link is https://risk-reward-news.com/YiGURhh?adsetname={{adset.name}}

Edited to add - I've reported my own post so hopefully mnhq will see it

Came to site stuff to see if there was already a thread on this. I'm seeing the same ones as flappybat, multiple times on multiple threads. Samsung phone on mobile page.

Please please @mnhq do something about this, it is very distressing. Not seeing these ads anywhere else.

They are all over this thread.

Have also seen the awful Rachel Reeves ad several times this morning.

I saw this too. Really confronting and upsetting. I need to log off the internet today.
