Ban Political Ads
Why?:
Political ads should stay out of the canvas for gods sake, common sense.
Its not just my view but the 5 dudes from the political ad "Volt" aka "Volt Europe" will say "iTs ArT", "LoOk At ThE GaMe LoGoS" - yeah those are FAN ARTS. A political party CANT have FANS, they can have just voters, who want to gain power somewhere in the world, and they use a "neutral" space to advertise their political party. I hope for those guys they get some fat rewards for their ad on the canvas.
Edit: Thanks for the confirmation @ downvoters that this is for good.
Hard disagree. I don't like Volt either, and I'd never vote for them, but I must acknowledge that their political views align with the majority of liberal left users. If you'd like them to be gone, you are more then welcome to team up with friends to replace their pixels with better art. That's entire point of the canvas after all, to see what emerges when random groups and people share the same space.
Ok, thought this wasnt a political ad billboard. A (somewhat) neutral space.
Art never is neutral
I disagree; something can be both advertisement and art at the same time.
An advertisement need not necessarily be art, but what counts as art is also a subjective thing. "Just text and some stars" could be art, depending on how one thinks about it.
