Had similar issue myself,

ran ads for a week, and also got the message “As a result, our technology took action.”

The AI said it couldn't tell me why the ban since it may help shady people understand what they ban people for.. and then told me I can read all the policies and guidelines to know why.. and said no appeals, final decision.

I was running ads offering help people make their google ads and facebook ads more effective.

The irony.

actual transcripts: https://steveiscritical.com/04/eight-days-how-meta-banned-a-...

https://steveiscritical.com/06/meta-built-an-ai-appeal-assis...

I made a third attempt to get the AI to tell me why - same 'no details, no appeals'

Talked with some other fbook ad experts and it was suggested that newer ad accounts can sometimes get banned faster.

So I wonder is it because my bank refused charges 3 times in a week (for like $3.90) ? if the anti-fraud ai at my bank pissed off the anti-fraud AI thing at fbook maybe?

- Is it because I had some logos in one ad? (I changed that ad to comply if that's the reason - but I don't know if that's a / the rule!) -

Tennessee just passed a law saying that Google has to provide reasons for banning google business profiles, maybe Meta will be next.

Must be a lot of prompt injection potensial in AI evaluating user generated content like this.
