Why does this article use the term "real ads" every time instead of just "ads"? Is this just weird or does it have a technical meaning?
Dunno, but within the context, Microsoft claimed only ads for Microsoft products. Now, whether those products are predatory mobile games for example, well that's technically within the said terms. It's basically a matter of scope and wordplay.
