Digital advertising giant AppLovin has allegedly been serving sexually explicit and violent ads in games played by kids – all while bypassing parental controls meant to shield them, according to allegations in a bombshell lawsuit filed on Monday. Filed in California state court, the lawsuit alleges that AppLovin – a $100 billion company that helps software developers sell ads and monetize their apps – has been “exposing children to graphic depictions of sex, violence, and sexual assault delivered directly to their mobile devices through games designed for and rated as safe for children. ” Alarming screenshots included the lawsuit show a variety of scantily-clad cartoon women in sexually suggestive situations including bondage, as well as ads for alcohol, vaping devices and cannabis gummies that appeared in games that were rated “E for everyone” on Google’s Play Store.
