For values of "anti bullying charity" equal to "company making money from online extortion", but yeah. (Their website Cheaterville has ads for services offering to remove "slanderous" and "defamatory" content from Cheaterville for the fee of $500 per entry. They handle all their advertising inhouse, so at the very least they're entirely aware of where their advertising income's coming from. In fact, at one point those were the only external ads on the entire network of sites and there was no information on how to advertise with them, so they'd obviously cut some kind of private deal with the companies offering these services.)
