Not surprised by this at all. “Animal trading” is such a touchy category within Meta. Once you get flagged for this, you can basically kiss your account goodbye. It is impossible to get support, even in cases like this where it clearly has nothing to do with animals. Meta simply will not touch it. There are other categories like this too. Ultimately it is easier/safer for Meta to just wholesale ban any use of terms even if it seems really stupid. This will only continue as Meta continues its exit from detailed ad targeting. Google is doing the same thing too.
- eh_why_not 3y ago> This will only continue as Meta continues its exit from detailed ad targeting. Google is doing the same thing too. Meta and Google are exiting "detailed ad targeting"? How so?
- dhfbshfbu4u3 3y agoBoth companies are pulling way back on targeting categories and have been for a couple years now. Most of it rolls up under privacy these days but when they started they were pretty coy about it. Eventually, they'll exit entirely. You can see this in the ad products they are both pushing: Advantage+ on the Meta side and PerformanceMax at Google. Marketers ability to target with these ad products is severely curtailed. They are opaque black boxes at best.
- btbuildem 3y agoIt sounds like an interesting opportunity for a DDOS / social engineering type attack
- dhfbshfbu4u3 3y agoOh indeed. Some activists do this already and it is very painful for advertisers who get hit this way.
