Knowing who sponsors political ads

[Stephen Tashi]

On TV stations, political ads are generally accompanied by information about who paid for them. Is this information available for the political ads on YouTube?

On the internet forums I visit, I don't recall seeing political ads. Can forums that run ads from Google make some sort of agreement with Google that they will only run certain types of ads?

Google has this to say about it:

As far as site agreements, perhaps @Greg Bernhardt can answer this from his PF experience.

There are about a dozen ad categories that can be blocked which are deemed sensitive. Politics is one of them.
