+ Verified New State
Meta clarifies that ad removal is based on a multi-faceted policy enforcement system and rejects the validity of the report's revenue estimation methodology.

Impact & Verification Analysis

WHO IS AFFECTED

Policy researchers, advertisers, and Polish users of Meta platforms.

WHY IT MATTERS

This highlights the difficulty in auditing black-box ad moderation systems and the discrepancy between external data scraping methodologies and internal platform enforcement metrics.

Full Fact Overview

Meta's response serves as a technical rebuttal to an external audit regarding their ad moderation pipeline. The core of the dispute lies in the methodology of the Instrat report, which Meta claims conflates general policy enforcement (IP violations, restricted goods, quality standards) with specific fraud detection. Meta highlights that the report's revenue estimation model relies on extrapolated EU-wide reach metrics rather than localized Polish data, and utilizes an arbitrary CPM (Cost Per Mille) of 20.65 PLN. Furthermore, Meta identifies a 'sampling bias' in the report, noting that the data was derived from a single iOS device specifically trained via click-behavior to attract fraudulent content, rendering the findings statistically non-representative of the broader user base.
