As of August 2022, Facebook updated its guidelines and no longer allows users to create custom audiences for advertisers who fall under the following 3 categories: Housing, Employment, or Credit.
If a Facebook advertiser falls under Housing, Employment, or Credit, we cannot implement specific audience targeting to the campaign (i.e. demographic or behavioral targeting).
Below are some examples for each category:
