Facebook Continues Action Against Deceptive Ads

Facebook says they are continuing to “aggressively” fight deceptive ads and have banned entire ad networks and suspended over 100 applications for ad-related violations (or brought them into compliance).

First, deceptive ads are a widespread issue on the Web and one we fight aggressively. This battle is not new and it’s far from over. We faced stimulus scam ads on our own system earlier this year and pushed them off the site with rigorous enforcement. We did the same months later when deceptive ads from third-party ad networks appeared in applications. We’re doing that again now as we see them appear in the form of offers.
