Meta's use of signals to enforce country-level authorization means advertisers cannot simply claim authorization; Meta independently assesses whether the ad source matches the authorized country.
Audiences in a given country receive political and issue-based ads only from advertisers that Meta's signal-based verification has confirmed are authorized to run ads in that country.
How other platforms handle this
If we learn that we've collected the personal data of a child under the age of 13 or 16, as applicable, we'll take reasonable steps to delete the personal data. This may require us to delete the Skillshare account...
Our moderators will thoughtfully consider any explanations and supplemental information provided by the Member when deciding whether to take action or reinstate access.
If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal data without parental consent, we remove such data and terminate the child's account (except where we are required to retain all or a portion of such data for compliance purposes).
