YouTube will mark those now "YouTube will start labeling videos that receive government funding" (Feb/2nd) http://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-youtube-...

Maybe they were suppressed for a while and now resurfaced?

My understanding is that these new policies apply to videos, not paid for ads. Maybe these ads are actually an answer to these policies? What I find disturbing is that you could watch the whole ad (in the Polish case) and never know who ran it as you're just provided with a hashtag at the end of it.
