The ad's destination URL contains the misinformation.
Agencies play this semantic cat and mouse game with policies that are clearly targeted at preventing this type of content from proliferating, so it's not as cut and dry as you believe it is.
- daenz 7y agoThe larger picture may not be cut and dry, but this example is. The wording of the policy is very clear, and so is the wording of the ads in question.
- bduerst 7y agoNo, it's not. An ad's destination page is subject to Facebooks advertising policy: >During the ad review process, we'll check your ad's images, text, targeting, and positioning, in addition to the content on your ad's landing page. Your ad may not be approved if the landing page content isn't fully functional, doesn't match the product/service promoted in your ad or doesn't fully comply with our Advertising Policies. https://www.facebook.com/policies/ads/ https://www.facebook.com/policies/ads/
- daenz 7y agoHuh, I didn't know that strictly the same policies applied to both the ad content and the ad destination. What's your explanation for Facebook leaving up the ad and issuing the statement that they did then? It appears they are standing by their choice on some grounds, and I'm curious what your interpretation of that is.
