- No deceptive formats: Ads must be distinguishable from journalism and comply with platform policies.
- Restricted categories: We do not accept ads for illegal products, hate, or misinformation. Health/financial claims require substantiation.
- Placement: Ads never obscure headlines or alter quoted material; intrusive formats are limited.
