I have a facebook viral website, it has a video which needs to be shared to start playing. There is nothing illegal and the ads are placed on top and left and right side of the site.

Facebook--> My Site- > Shares my site -> Watches the video

No illegal content, nothing. Simple HTML site with few images and a video.
Ads are placed in a normal way.

Do let me know whether it's safe. If i'm violating any TOS do let me know that too.

    Your content isn't illegal, but the traffic you drive is illegal. AdSense looks for targeted traffic, i.e. from search engines.

        99% traffic from social media isn't AdSense friendly. It doesn't matter it is Facebook or any general website, the traffic falls under the category of "referred traffic" which is almost similar to paid traffic.

        I maintain a blog where several people contact me saying that their AdSense got banned. The reason for most of them seems to be the referred traffic when I analyze their stats.

        BTW you should work in SEO too and you must not rely solely on FB traffic. FB sends you just CRAP and you will never find any serious customer from there. AdSense is a serious business so you need targeted traffic in the end to get success with it in long run.

            He's wrong, don't listen to him. Look at the biggest viral sites on the internet, most have Adsense on them.

      You obviously don't even know what you're talking about. Illegal, means it's against the law, which it isn't. Actually, your statement is totally wrong. Do you realize that sites like viralnova, godvine, upworthy are mostly made up of Facebook traffic with Adsense revenue being their biggest income? I have a site that receives over 500,000 visitors a day, 90% Facebook traffic, and have no problems with Adsense.

      Do your reasearch.

    Social media traffic is safe with Adsense. If you don't mind sharing, how do you force your visitors to share before they watch the video? What plugin do you use?

    As long as your traffic is "legit" then you should be fine.

    So get your Viral promo on.
