Facebook has halted the sale of face masks.
The social networking giant is no longer allowing advertisements on certain parts of the site, like its popular Marketplace.
In an updated Covid-19 policy and protection document, Facebook announced that it would automatically remove posts from its platform.
“Under our regulated policy we’ve taken steps to protect against the exploitation of this crisis for financial gain, by banning content that attempts to sell or trade medical and respiratory face masks, hand sanitisers, disinfecting wipes and Covid-19 test kits. This policy does not extend to offers or requests for mask donations.”
