Yes its true! Google ads place the ads there, based on algorithms their servers use to target the ads based on the content of the page. Clearly with widely ranging forum topics there is a lot of scope for what can end up advertised on a page. One another forum I frequent a seemingly innocuous topic resulted in loads of ads for adult diapers and incontinence pads!
Notice the little tag in the corner that says 'Ads by Google'. Then wise up.
OK - so that means the content of the page is pro-speed. So, SS is pro-speed, especially with the comment 'visit these links to support SS' (or something like that). If SS is not pro-speed why aren't the offending comments removed? Why are there hate campaigns against anyone who is pro-safety - shouldn't they be removed? What about the solicitor using the word 'technicalities' to describe how they intend to get convicted speeders off? Shouldn't SS do something to try to remove these adverts? Or are these allowed because SS hates speed limit enforcement?
Oh dear lord, are you being deliberately obtuse, or are you genuinely that hard of thinking?
SS subscribe to the Google Ads service. Google ads serve ads based on the words that appear in the page(s). When someone clicks a Google Ad then SS gets a tiny little bit of money from Google Ads. The advertisers pay Google Ads to advertise based on key-words about their service.
When
you type things like 'speed', 'camera' and 'technicality'
you are feeding the algorithm. In fact, given your forum name, and frequency of posting, you probably contribute the vast majority of content that results in ads for things relating to speed cameras in the threads to which you 'contribute'. By your logic that means that
you are largely responsible for the ads you so dislike.
You must be pro-speed!
Incidentally, you may consider yourself pro-safety, but you are deluded, in the same manner as when you generalise that everyone here is pro-speed. If you were truly interested in safety then you would enter the debate with an open mind, looking to find things to make the roads safer. You are, in fact, pro-control. This need not be to the exclusion of safety, but in your case you've illustrated time and again that you are more interested in shouting people down with your dogma than looking to make the roads safer for all.
Furthermore; everyone who is accused of a crime is entitled to a defence. Presumably even you cannot subscribe to the idea that everyone who is accused of a crime is automatically guilty. If the enforcers of the law have been less than fastidious in the execution of their duties then there may exist flaws which are fatal to the case. These checks and balances are there to protect the general public from sloppy law enforcement. If they do not serve this purpose then it is up to the legislature/judiciary to remove them. 'Technicality' is a term applied by those who wish to cover up the fact that they have not executed their duty correctly.
If you still cannot get your head round this matter then the only thing left is to draw you a picture. Bring your construction paper and crayons.
