Hi Rami,
I’m speaking out of experience being a buyer/user of facebook ad back since inception..
Here are 2 things that you would probably want to highlight to your readers:
1-The example you posted is not an Ad.
This is just a simple ‘post’ on an app, and the the app is called marketplace
2-FB devs do not check posts on apps AFAIK..rather they check the apps themselves (for code, policy etc..)
checking posts on apps would be like shoveling through a square mile of sand looking for a coin from an effort perspective..and I’m almost certain those devs have more important things to do than to worry about some Lebanese ‘Entrepreneur’
I think you could check with anyone at facebook about this..but I’m pretty certain of my info.

Thanks for the info!
LOL— Wow, this is more like DC/ATL/DETROIT than I thought! That’s not only in Lebanon! They do that mess over here too!!
