What would you define as "effective controls"? And for how many years is a well-known ad network going to be able to keep a spotless record? Which if any existing network qualifies?
Why should a blog have ads on it?
To pay for the VPS that hosts the blog.

JavaScript lets you run web applications on any platform that supports JavaScript.

But in the case of rape or murder, well, that will end family ties for a few decades.
For this purpose, would you consider "rape" to include sexual contact between an 18-year-old and a 17-year-old when the 17-year-old has presented fake ID? Or are you in the "save it for marriage to avoid accidental molestation convictions" camp?
