    You’re in the wrong place. The company that actually runs the ads is who decides whether or not to accept a client, not the developers of an app.

    The only thing the developers decide is which company to use, and they all accept political ads of some kind. It’ll get worse the closer a major election gets.

    Your choices are to pay for the app if it has that option (and sync does), use an ad blocker, or get into modding apps so that you can DIY your way around it.

    It doesn’t even matter what your politics are, because most of the ad companies will gladly take clients of any given party/platform in the world. I’m not aware of any ad companies that won’t. At best, they’ll turn down the ones that they know will cause a big stink via being racist or otherwise untenable.

    On an issue like this one? They don’t care because the issue is not one sided enough to cost them anything. Even if it is was a one sided political stance, they’d take the money if they thought they could get away with it.

    Welcome to the ad driven internet.

      This is exactly the right place. End users don’t deal with the ad company, the dev does. If you want them to change their ads, they need pushback from the devs using their service. The only way to get pushback from the devs using their service is if the users complain to the devs.
