From the post:

"The ad is attempting to use the Audio API as one of literally hundreds of pieces of data it is collecting about your browser in an attempt to "fingerprint" it... Your browser may be blocking this particular API, but it's not blocking most of the data."

Maybe in the dyke holding back user outrage, but the dyke of serving arbitrary JavaScript was never built in the first place.
