Facebook bans mask ads
Table of contents:
Due to the coronavirus, mask sales have skyrocketed globally. In addition, the hoaxes, rumors and news that seek to create fear or misinform have not stopped emerging, leading companies to take action against them. There are also ads that are problematic, like mask ads. Facebook takes action for that.
Facebook bans mask ads
The social network will ban all mask advertisements. This is something that also seeks to help combat the rise in prices that these products have had in many countries due to the current situation.
Goodbye to these announcements
This will be a temporary ban on Facebook, though how long it will last has not been said. It will surely depend on the state of the coronavirus and its expansion throughout the world. So it may be something that will last several months. The social network hopes in this way to prevent the price of these masks from continuing to skyrocket, in addition to seeking to avoid panic.
You don't want anyone to make a profit out of a difficult time that is costing many people their lives, as well as making others sick. The social network thus follows the example of other firms such as Amazon or Apple.
Therefore, most likely, these months you will not find face mask ads on Facebook. If you come across one, it will surely be an ad that has sneaked in, so it will probably give you the opportunity to report them, as has been known.
