12 eyeo, parent company of Adblock Plus, today officially announced the first membe rs of the Acceptable Ads Committee (AAC), an independent group which will take o ver control of its [Acceptable Ads program](https://acceptableads.com/). The Acc eptable Ads program began in 2011, when Adblock Plus started letting users block most ads, but permitting ads that met criteria for acceptability – so long as t he user chose to participate. The AAC will take full authority over these criter ia and the compromise between users who want to block intrusive ads and publishe rs who rely on advertising revenues.

13

14 Also, in an industry first, an ordinary user will be seated as one of the 11 com mittee members to represent consumers’ demands of the online advertising indust ry.

15

16 The AAC will take over management of the [Acceptable Ads criteria](https://accep tableads.com/en/about/criteria) and the rules for whitelisting that [Adblock Plu s](https://adblockplus.org/en/about), [AdBlock](https://getadblock.com/), [Adblo ck Browser](https://adblockbrowser.org/) and [Crystal](http://crystalapp.co/) al l abide by to offer users the ability to block unwanted ads while allowing throu gh better, more respectful ones for those users who choose to view ads. While ey eo is facilitating the recruitment of the members constituting the initial AAC, the various member groups represented on the committee itself will seat future c ommittees.

17

18 The AAC can have a maximum of 11 committee seats, representing nine member group s. At this time, there are eight committee seats filled: two of the (three) digi tal rights seats and the user seat have yet to be finalized. The user seat will be filled at the end of an ongoing recruitment process over various social media channels, and will represent the very first time that an actual user will have an equal part in a decision-making process with advertising ecosystem profession als.
