Facebook to allow users to promote and sell hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes on platform
MENLO PARK, Calif. - Facebook said it will allow sellers to promote hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes on the platform after it previously banned such ads and listings amid the global coronavirus pandemic. In March, the platform temporarily prohibited ads and commerce listings for the items to help protect against scams, inflated prices and hoarding.“Today, we’ll start to allow people to promote hand sanitizer and wipes on Facebook & Instagram. This will apply to organic posts, ads, and commerce listings including IG shopping + Marketplace,” said Rob Leathern, director of Product Management at Facebook.A file image taken July 16, 2020 shows a display of antibacterial hand sanitizer in Miami Beach, Florida.
