Discriminatory housing or sale targeting

What this means

Listings that discriminate based on protected characteristics (housing, employment, credit) are prohibited.

Why this happens

Meta Commerce Manager flags products that fall under restricted/prohibited categories — counterfeits, restricted weapons, healthcare claims requiring certification, financial services, alcohol, gambling, adult content, or restricted destinations.

How to fix it

  1. Read the linked policy article carefully to understand exactly what's restricted.
  2. If your product is genuinely permitted but flagged in error, request a re-review — but make sure your content is squeaky-clean first.
  3. If selling regulated products, apply for the appropriate program enrollment with required certifications.
  4. Remove or modify product titles, descriptions, and images that imply prohibited content.
