Normally when I view Demonland I get no ads because I've paid my subscription. However, sometimes I view Demonland from an iPad when not logged in, so I get adverts. Some of these adverts are for dating agencies, personal contact, women seeking men etc.

There has been concerned expressed that while these sites are not necessarily dangerous in themselves, clicking through from these sites can easily lead to exposure to pornography and downloading X-rated cookies.

The letter below from describes the issue:

Another parent complained:

"We had an episode with our son, not the same but scary like this, last weekend and we thought we were tough. It can happen to anyone. We have now taken the Internet and google off his iPad (even though we had all restriction settings on high and explicit content off etc.) He has to ask to us if he wants to search something. We are now researching a program to aid in helping stop this from happening. And for how long it will keep these disgusting people overriding it I'm not sure."

I would just like to know what controls Demonland has in place to filter adverts that show on the site, and to avoid possible "X-rated click through" issues. I'm mainly concerned about junior Demon followers who read here.

Demonland cannot control the browsing habits of visitors in regards to clicks throughs they make after they leave the site. As part of our partnership with google Ads we do not allow ads to pornographic or gaming sites.

The ads that are displayed for individuals will differ based on the users browsing habits and the content that is already on Demonland.

I know that, but I think that's somewhat avoiding the issue. The sites that show on Demonland often 'secondarily' click through to pornographic sites if they are clicked.

I've received many advertisements when I'm not logged in for sites promoting Thai girls, sexy singles, dubious dating sites etc. Just because they're from Google doesn't mean they're 'safe'. I think maybe you should further limit the Google adverts that display away from dating agencies and singles.

I'm just trying to both protect kids from unfortunate collateral exposure and maintain the integrity of Demonland as a site for viewers of all ages.

Parents of children should be monitoring their childrens online browsing habits. It is their responsibility not mine. The ads form a part of our revenue and as I said previously we cannot control the browsing habits of visitors in regards to click throughs they make after they leave the site. We do not link to pornographic or gaming sites nor are we morality police.

The ads that appear for you will not necessarily appear for the next person as most of the ads generated are based on that individuals browsing habits and the profile that google has created for you based on those habits. I and Demonland have no control over that.
