No, I do know the meaning of owned and operated. What I stated is true as well, admob is O&O by Google. Facebook ads can appear on non O&O content the same as admob via their audience network. Both networks have options to advertise on just their O&O website or apps. Do you understand now?

Comparing AdMob to Facebook Audience Network is like comparing a lemon to a watermelon. Majority of FB's display revenue comes from ads on their own properties. This is not true for Google where their display network dominates their display ad spend. Anyways, the fact that I have to explain all these things tells me you are pretty new to this and don't understand things deeply enough to have this debate. I will sign…

You need to readjust your experience meter.

Is a shop an advert ?

Is a catalogue? Yes, I would say so, however it's a fundamentally less offensive, less coercive, format than billboards. I am not made to suffer the contents of a catalogue unless I opt into it. I would only open a catalogue if I've already decided that I want to see what it contains, probably because I want to purchase something that it may contain. Shops are similar to this, I don't enter a shop unless I've decided…

So if i want to build a shop with a self contained (non structural or otherwise regulated) frontage of my own design, you think you should have a say over that?
