    They're putting these crappy ads e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e. The quality of ads on YouTube has fallen to somewhere beneath the sewer, just as YouTube has launched a scorched-earth campaig…

    Complying with US federal law does not equate to acting as an agent of the US government, no matter how many times this trope may be repeated.
