Facebook is currently taking direct action against ad accounts created via Business Managers (BMs). Does this mean personal ad accounts are the safest bet right now? Or are there other types of accounts that can still be used?
Which type of account is the best right now?

stick with legit personal or business ad accounts and follow Meta’s rules, coz switching account types just to avoid enforcement can get the whole setup flagged anyway.

Meta is a bit stricter than it used to be, all my Ads I are run on personal personal account and so far, I have been safe. you should try it. Business Manager accounts are under serious scrutiny now.

ersonal ad accounts are definitely holding up much better against automated sweeps right now, but account type is only half the battle. Even a warm personal account will get restricted instantly if your anti-detect browser profiles and proxy IP consistency don't match the account's historical fingerprint and location profile.

I wouldn’t assume personal ad accounts are automatically safer since facebook can restrict any account type when it detects policy or account quality issues for long term campaigns I’d use legitimate business manager and ad accounts with consistent business information and stay within Meta’s normal advertising policies

Yes, a personal account is not a kind of a magic shield. In most cases, a well-maintained business record and a good history of the account are more important than the kind of account.

currently, I still combine to use personal and BM accs. facebook is still scanning strictly, no type of acc is the best.

I would think twice about making that assumption. It is not just spending history that determines whether or not the account remains in good standing.

I do not think that personal ad accounts are always safer by default; facebook appears to care more about the history, payments and consistency rather than BM or PA type.

Personal ad account is not necessarily safer I believe facebook will flag any weird behavior any ways. A clean account and gud billing history tends to matter more.

Business Manager (BM) accounts are subject to very strict scrutiny; you need to review them carefully before use and comply with Meta's policies. Personal accounts also get locked, though this happens less frequently.

I’d stick with a proper Business Manager because personal ad accounts can get banned too. It’s better to keep your business details and payment info genuine.

you can still ust both your personal account and your BM, but it depends on your specific needs. In my experience, I usually set up long term spending campaigns on my BM account and use personal account for testing to avoid wasting resources

Personal ad accounts aren’t necessarily safer. The best approach is to use legitimate accounts, follow Meta’s policies, and build a stable Business Manager with proper verification and billing.
