Currently they are using adbrite ads under the voting bar. Maybe Google warned them (?) :) . I saw one case long time ago when man received an email from Google where he was asked to remove some ads because they were breaking adsense's TOS. Well, something changed there.

In Google's defence, although they don't seem to regulate the placement of content network ads particularly well, they did take that bold and very selfless (Google??!!) step of shrinking the clickable area within the top banner sponsored search results on their SERPs. Remember? The top banner used to be blue and the entire area was clickable? Now it's yellow and only the actual ad itself is clickable (not the area around them). So I think Google does ok on this issue, and they may well address the issue of content ad placement soon..... This is interesting, guys.
