What would constitute evidence of corruption?

* Allowing the most invasive of all the ad trackers to be members of Acceptable ads? (Criteo: Yes, they're a member)

* Allowing the most ubiquitous ad trackers to be members of Acceptable Ads? (Google: Yes, they're a member)

* Allowing the advertisements of companies owned by their investors to be members of Acceptable Ads? (Sedo: Owned by Tim Schumacher -- Yes they're a member)

* Allowing cheesy "native ads" site-spam to be part of Acceptable Ads? (Taboola. Yes, they're a member.)

* Gouging publishers for an absolutely absurd pound of flesh? (The rate is 30% of ad revenue for blocked ads. Insane!)

I could go on.

There's a lot wrong with the program.
