Do US politicians also advertise on FT?
I’ve gotten all sorts of distasteful ads in the US. Vaping ads recently. Lots of political leaning surveys, “Will Trump win again?”. I have even had cigarette ads while traveling in Asia.
FT doesn’t even know exactly what ads are shown, as the ads are farmed out, and seemingly lots of objectionable stuff can be snuck in.
