Nasty adverts

Is anyone else getting pornographic "adverts" popping up on AIBU? I didn't clock what they were to begin with because each time they are 4 - 8 very small images, sometimes interspersed with innocuous pictures of handbags or kettles etc. After 10 seconds or so, they disappear and the adverts box is plain white. There are no prices, no company name etc. At first I was dismissing them as Temu ads, which I don't look at anyway.
Can Mumsnet HQ please do something about this? Most adverts I see seem to be linked to the topic in hand but these aren't. Nor are they the sort of images I would ever search for so not algorithm linked to me.

Hi OP

We're really keen to look into this. They sound like google ad slots, so can you please screenshot when this next happens, and if possible, get us a URL to the advert landing page? To do this, you can turn wifi off and then click the ad - it'll load the URL without loading you into the page.

I'll have a go. The screenshot should be no problem but the other thing I'm not sure of because they don't stick around for long.
