Any advice on what to do when Facebook cancels your ad for being too sexual? - GoFuckYourself.com

I had a pg-13 ad on Facebook that led to a pg-13 page for "alternative dating" i.e.; people into non vanilla things. It was great because with FB you can get really specific on who your ad is shown to. Unlike many traffic companies now who show your ad to the whole world and you cant do much about it.

It was great but then out of nowhere they canceled my ad because the site theme was sexual.
Anyone ever faced this and how do you get around it? Do you just make a new fake page that isnt sexual? I hate doing that because it wastes clicks.

just start a new campaign with the same ad. If they approved the ad before prior to releasing it initially, then they should approve it again.

Why not just tone the page down and resubmit the ad? (or tone the ad down if that was the problem).

Thanks guys.
I dont know how to tone the ad more. it was just 2 faces looking at each other. I think its the theme of what im advertising that they object to
