It is permissible to look at some objectionable things, such as pictures of unveiled women in advertisements, for the purpose of preventing their appearance on the website, to the extent necessary. This is because it is permissible to look at what is uncovered of women for the purpose of establishing a legal punishment (hadd), or bearing witness to establish a right, and similar situations.
