From what I understand, you can only cloak the landing pages and not the actual ads themselves - is that correct?

I'm trying to run some ads using deepfakes but I already know Facebook won't approve those. Is the way to get around this by using whitehat images/videos for the ads and then when the target audience clicks on the ad, the cloaked landing page can have all the blackhat stuff (including the deepfakes)?

Or is there a way to cloak the ad creatives we use for Facebook ads too so Facebook employees see a regular image but the target audience can see a deepfake creative?

Cloaking on Facebook often involves hiding the actual content of the website that users will be routed to when they click on an ad. Content reviewers and verifiers will see a healthy page that complies with Facebook's advertising policies, while regular users will see real ads. So if you advertise BH products you should use cloaking techniques

First things first though: What is cloaking? Cloaking is a technique used to circumvent Facebook’s review processes, in order to show users content that would not have made the community guidelines standards otherwise. The mechanism which cloaking employs consists of concealing the true destination of an ad or post, or the real content of the destination page, in order to bypass Facebook’s reviewers.


In many cases, these bad actors will go as far as setting up web pages, specifically for Facebook reviewers. These pages abide by the advertising guidelines, however, once they get approved, users are taken to a different destination when they click on the same link through Facebook app.

What do you want is to block IP ranges or block bots from scanning advertising content?

Exactly, I think you also know and understand the problem of concealment measures
 
That's right, man
 
I'm also wondering about this issue
 
The aim of cloaking ads on social media is to conceal the true destination URL or content that users will see after clicking on an ad.
 
What products do you usually run? I recently saw that running Facebook can run links directly. No need to use cloaking techniques
