Why This Happens
Meta requires special pre-approval and verification for political ads, social issue ads, cryptocurrency promotions, and other regulated categories. Ads in these categories that lack proper disclaimers, advertiser verification, or 'Paid for by' labels face immediate rejection or account restriction. In 2025-2026, Meta has banned new political ads during certain periods, restricted crypto ads without prior approval, and required full identity verification for advertisers in regulated sectors.
Example Notification
