Meta's New Restrictions on Sensitive Industries

Meta has introduced new restrictions that significantly affect brands operating in sensitive sectors such as health, finance, and wellness. These changes are intended to enhance user privacy and comply with global regulations, but they impose severe limitations on how brands collect and utilize data for advertising. For instance, brands can no longer optimize ads using bottom-funnel events like purchases and add-to-cart actions, resulting in a significant disruption to established advertising strategies. Advertisers will need to adapt to relying on broader audience targeting, which may diminish ad effectiveness and lead to lower engagement and conversion rates.
