Facebook is going hard again against ad policy violators and this time they're suing the owner of LeadCloak.
It seems some affiliates were abusing the coronavirus angle with false claims and crap offers, so this might have really upset someone.
I assume they'll go after the other closkers on the market too.
"Facebook announced that it filed a lawsuit against Basant Gajjar, the founder of a little-known company named LeadCloak, alleging the small firm was helping scammers run deceptive ads on Facebook and Instagram by selling cloaking software to fool its ad-review systems.
"Using the name "LeadCloak," Gajjar violated Facebook Terms and Policies by providing cloaking software and services designed to circumvent automated ad review systems," Facebook's statement said. "LeadCloak's software also targeted a number of other technology companies including Google, Oath, WordPress, Shopify, and others."
Cloaking software fools ad-review systems by showing them entirely innocent websites linked to each ad, so no red flags are raised.
But users see an entirely different website that may promote scams or violate the company's terms of service."
