Facebook has been in the news since July for issues they have been facing with platform ad networks violating their policies. SocialHour and SocialReach were the first of the lot to be banned on account of misleading advertisements within third party applications that allegedly gave out a Facebook user’s data on external landing pages in a way which violated Facebook policies.
Back to the present, Facebook told developers that it would implement new measures to avoid such instances from recurring. However in a statement today ‘Continued Action Against Deceptive Ads’, the social networking website has mentioned that it has banned two more platform offer and ad networks (names of which haven’t been disclosed) for repeated violations of its policies.
The announcement read:
We recognize that monitoring ads isn’t the first area of focus for an entrepreneur just getting started with social applications. That’s why ad networks that don’t play by the rules should expect to be our first point of contact in our line of enforcement. Our policies are clear. If you’re an ad network and don’t comply with them, you are doing a disservice to your customers, and you should expect your business opportunities on Facebook to cease.
In addition to legal notices that have been sent to many ad networks to mandate ongoing compliance on Facebook Platform, today we are disabling two additional offer and ad networks who have repeatedly violated our policies.
For any advertising-related enquiries, Facebook has set up a Platform Advertising Contact Form.
