ZDNet: “Google on [October 20, 2022] began rolling out a new tool that gives users more control over the ads they see when using Google products – without hampering the way products like Google Search, Discover, and YouTube actually work. My Ad Center, among other things, lets users block whole categories of ads they’re not interested in, including topics like weight loss, gambling, and dating. As previewed earlier this year during the Google I/O conference, My Ad Center allows you to tell Google whether you’d like to see more or fewer ads on a certain topic – or even no personalized ads at all.  Previously, turning off personalized ads within Google required limiting the functionality of its products.  “In the past, if your YouTube History was on, it automatically informed how your ads were personalized,” Google VP Jerry Dischler wrote in a blog post. “Now, if you don’t want your YouTube History to be used for ads personalization, you can turn it off in My Ad Center, without impacting relevant recommendations in your feed.”
