adult websites and adblock

Post by mikewayne »

Hi,

I noticed that text links to some adult sites were systematically blocked.
When I click on it, it does not work, which forces me to disable adblock.
Why prevent some adult text links from working ?
I can understand that Adblock blocks banners and other intrusive ads (that's why i use it), but why block text links to these sites ?
If I decide to click on a link why do you block this one ? :roll:

Thanks for your answer

I got an app from top1apk to help me to block some ads when i visit adult sites. It works quite well, however, recently it has started not working anymore. So, what app do you guys use to block ads?

There are so many illegal ads. My children have access to all gadgets. I don't want them to watch this ad.

As I see, the answer is in the posts up here coz kids are anywhere!)
But, think that must be a function to turn it kids protection off as we have it on some parents control mode.

It's likely that the text links to adult sites were blocked for a few reasons. First, some users may not want to accidentally click on these links while browsing the web, especially in a public or work setting. Second, these links could be considered inappropriate or offensive by some users, so blocking them can help create a more safe and comfortable browsing experience. Lastly, blocking these links may help prevent users from being exposed to potentially harmful or malicious content. However, it's important to note that blocking these links is not always foolproof, and users should always exercise caution when clicking on links from unknown sources.
