Why do Ad accounts get blocked?

Ad account blocks happen for a variety of reasons, and platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Google enforce these blocks to ensure advertisers comply with their policies. Here’s a breakdown of common causes:

• Violation of Advertising Policies: Each platform has its own set of guidelines designed to protect users from harmful or misleading content. If your ads violate these guidelines — whether it’s promoting prohibited content, using deceptive tactics, or failing to disclose critical information — your account is at a high risk of being blocked.
• Excessive Rejections: Consistently submitting ads that get rejected due to policy violations can raise a red flag. Platforms may decide that an account with repeated violations is highly-risky.
• Suspicious Activity: Unusual login patterns, a sudden spike in spending, unusually low  spendings, or other irregular behaviors can cause platforms to red flag your account for security reasons. This is often done as a precaution to prevent fraud, but it can have severe consequences for your campaigns.
• Negative User Feedback: Ads that frequently get reported by platform users for being offensive, irrelevant, or misleading can negatively impact the user experience. As a result, the platform may decide to block your account to protect its audience.
