Changes in Facebook Advertising After a Year of Scandal and Regulation Updates

If you’ve depended on Facebook Advertising to bring in more business, then this past year was a real pain in the butt for you.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) stemming from the European Union went into full effect this past May 2018, changing the way many businesses around the globe market to customers. If you collect data from individuals residing from within the EU, then you’ve got to comply to the new set of laws. If you target EU citizens with Facebook Ads, that means you too.

And let’s not forget about the great data scandal when data broker firm Cambridge Analytica was found scraping sensitive user information to influence political decisions for Facebook users in 2016. It was such a big deal that Facebook actually removed the popular feature “Partner Categories” which negatively impacted many advertisers who depended on it for precise audience targeting.
