“Circumventing systems” notice on an ad account

Meta uses this wording when it believes an account is working around an earlier enforcement action. It often appears after a new ad account is opened while another is disabled, or after assets from a banned account are reused. Do not repeat the pattern while you respond.

What can trigger it

What to do

  1. Stop creating new accounts or adding the old assets to new ones.
  2. Save the notice and list every asset linked to the old account.
  3. Request a review if one is offered and explain the link plainly.
  4. Read the advertising standards on this point.

What to avoid

Do not hide links with new devices, new networks or borrowed profiles. Those make the record worse.

Official sources

Meta changes its help pages, menus and forms often. Follow the wording on your own screen and the current Help Center. Ads Account Recovery is an independent service and is not affiliated with Meta.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as a ban?

It is a policy label on the account. The result depends on Meta's review.

Can the review succeed?

It can. Nobody can promise it.

Does opening a clean new account avoid it?

Not if it shares assets or signals with the old one.
