A spokesman for YouTube in the Middle East said the objectionable ads had been removed at the request of Saudi Arabia.
According to the Suba
k website, the spokesperson said that "after checking the questionable ads, it was found that they do not conform to YouTube's standards".
It should be noted that the Saudi General Commission for Audiovisual Media had asked YouTube to remove objectionable advertisements.
The General Commission has said that the type of advertisements placed on YouTube for Saudi users are not compatible with Saudi society, Islamic values and principles. They are also against communication norms.
