The Acceptable Ads
Committee
The Acceptable Ads Committee establishes the criteria for what constitutes an Acceptable Ad. They thereby govern the Acceptable Ads Standard and set researched guidelines for which types of ads ad-blocking users will deem acceptable and that bring value to publishers and advertisers.
Established in 2017, the AAC creates nonintrusive, exceptionally researched ad standards that respect user experience while delivering real value to content publishers and online advertisers.
