OK, fine. But they are also an ad network, which absolutely acts as a publisher. I think they should be liable for the revenue they bring in from knowingly fraudulent ads.

Legal definitions can should change in order to keep up with society and technology.

No where does it say they know which ads are fraudulent and continue that particular ad.

It’s nuts how many people simply don’t read or think.

Walmart can say, for example, they know they’ll lose 3B to theft. That doesn’t mean they are wanting it, or allowing it, or know exactly which item will be stolen when and where. It means, given their scale, and from evidence they gather after the fact, this is an estimate of what happens when they have so many locations.

Now go read carefully, and don’t make stuff up about what you read, and think about the facts presented.
