OP here, it was a Google Adsense ad served on a normal web page. I reported it using the chevron-button, but didn't think the 4 options were adequate descriptions

* Seen this ad multiple times * Ad was inappropriate * Not interested in this ad * Ad covered content

It's like they only want to improve their algorithms, not make sure they're not serving law breaking advertisements

Law breaking ads are inappropriate.

Inappropriate is a maddeningly vague descriptor. I’ve never felt like it’s accurate enough.

Is it inappropriate for the website it’s displayed on, for me as a user, for google ads at all... Is it legally inappropriate, morally inappropriate, ethically inappropriate, or just something I don’t like?
