Major issues with your Facebook ads recently?

Ad accounts shut down completely. Ads running for months, suddenly rejected. More ads disapproved than ever. You’re not alone! Three things to know:

1. On Friday 6th November there was a system wide technical issue causing ad accounts to be shut down, ads to be rejected and delivery of ads to stop. Facebook has now resolved all known issues. (See below for the status link).

2. As you likely know, due to election week, Facebook ads are being much more rigorously checked than ever.

3. In about 99.99% of issues (deactivations, rejections/disapprovals), this is all done by AI on the first pass. It’s vital that you use the *appeal* process to escalate your case and get to a real human (hopefully for proper support!!).
