What is the ruling on participating in the Google AdSense advertising program, which displays automatic advertisements that may include prohibited or undesirable content, despite the presence of a limited filtering feature?

Participation in this program is not permissible because the participant will witness matters that are not allowed to be seen, and will contribute to promoting them. This contradicts the Almighty’s saying: (And do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge. Indeed, the hearing, the sight, and the heart - about all those [one] will be questioned), and the Almighty’s saying: (And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression).
