IP / TM
Recurring Trademark / IP Violation Warnings
Multiple flags across client campaigns · no formal strikes yet
Status
Recurring — Pattern unresolved
Strikes
Warnings only (no formal strike yet)
Risk
Cumulative account health impact
  • First IP/trademark warning received via Meta support email in Sep–Oct 2025
  • EyeFly operates in contractor niches (concrete lifting, crawl space, foundation repair) — competitor brand names appearing in testimonial content flagged
  • Multiple additional warnings since then across different client campaigns
  • Each violation increases account-level risk score — cumulative effect contributing to other restrictions
  • No formal "strikes" received yet — warnings only — but pattern is accelerating
  • No clear playbook from Meta on what specific content triggered each flag

Disabled
Personal Facebook Account Disabled
Primary BM admin account · appeals stalled · 4 email attachments on file
Status
Disabled — Appeals in Progress
Impact
Primary BM admin access lost
Evidence
4 PNG attachments in Gmail thread (May 10)
  • Akash's personal Facebook account disabled by Meta — no clear reason provided in disable notice
  • Account was the primary BM admin — disablement creates operational single-point-of-failure risk
  • Standard appeals submitted — stalled with no resolution
  • Gmail support thread active as of May 10, 2026 — 4 PNG attachments documenting disable notice + appeal history
  • Running BM operations through alternate admin access as workaround

Block
Facebook Page Creation Blocked
Every new client onboarding affected · scaling to 60+ clients
Status
Active Block
Impact
Every new client onboarding blocked
Scale
28 clients now → 60+ target (Q2)
  • EyeFly's Business Manager is blocked from creating new Facebook Pages
  • Every new client requires a dedicated Facebook Page — this is a mandatory step in our onboarding flow
  • Block applies at the BM level — workarounds involve creating pages outside the BM, creating delays and setup issues
  • At current scale (28 clients) this affects 2–5 new pages per month. At Q2 target (60+ clients), this becomes critical
  • No clear trigger identified — could be volume, account age, or a policy flag on the BM
AskDetailPriority

Sep 2025
Resolved
Ad Account Restriction — September 2025
Restriction lifted · confirming it's fully cleared from account health record
Status
Restriction Lifted
Duration
Sep → Oct/Nov 2025
Concern
Still on account health record?
  • Ad account restricted in September 2025 — all campaigns paused, spend halted
  • First major enforcement event for EyeFly — disrupted client delivery for several weeks
  • Appeals submitted; restriction lifted Oct–Nov 2025 after review
  • Internally updated creative review process post-incident
  • Concern: this event's record may still be elevating our account risk score, contributing to current flags
