So this is the my Negar’s blog regarding online advertisement.

We have heard of the popularity of online nowadays among people especially the youth. More companies are investing in online ad and that is why google and most search engines revenue are going up.
Seriously, I hate online advertisement. It is simply annoying when you want to watch a Youtube video and you are ‘forced’ to watch the advertisement. This is actually infringing consumer’s rights to some extent although this is a grey area legally. Those advertisements are irrelevant most of the time. For instance, Viagra etc.. My senior announced in facebook that he was researching about viagra and then he receives an email regarding Viagra. Somehow, this has infringes on our privacy. Some of the advertisements are literally irrelevant and foolish as what is mentioned by Negar.
So, is it an ethical advertising? Nobody can gives definite answers. But if I were the authorities, I would require those irrelevant advertisements to be removed because they are simply annoying. Don’t you all agree?
