As usual, I have a major issue with this.

Nowhere in your bullet list you write that...

• Stack Overflow takes full responsibility for the content that the chosen ads provider will make available on the Stack Exchange network, including but not limited to scam campaign, false advertising, malwertising and any form of damage caused by the provided ads.

Sadly, even in the year 2025, not taking responsibility for the TRASH one allows shady third parties to post in THEIR site/app/game/whatever is the de-facto standard unethical behavior most companies still take, happily shrugging off their responsibility for letting bad content reaching their users on the pretest that "it's not technically feasible to monitor all advertising" and "everyone is doing it so it is fine".

I can't blame you for this - you are not different from the thousand other companies out there doing the same. But this also means you get no "special treatment", you don't get to be the "friend we trust and can make an exception for".

Your ads will be blocked, it doesn't matter if they are 15 second animations, if they use sound, if they try to stalk the users by abusing should-be-illegal-if-not-already hacks so dear to the advertisement world.

Sites far bigger than you ended up distributing malware to their viewers thanks to the weak link in defense those shady ads providers represent. Even YouTube itself once felt for it.

You are no different. You get no different treatment.
