The error message occurs when uploading videos on our platform and the native first encodes the video and then generates the preview. In the case of large video files, the encoding step usually takes longer on native, thus resulting in the error message appearing at the creative level. This is not an issue.

To avoid these errors, the best method is to upload the video into DAM (Asset Management) and select the video while building the creative.

It looks like your ad may be for housing, employment, or credit opportunities, or you've included a multicultural affinity segment in your audience. If so, you'll need to certify that you'll comply with our policy prohibiting discrimination and with applicable anti-discrimination laws. Once you certify, we'll review any disapproved ads from the past three days. Typically, this review takes a few minutes. Approved ads will go live. You can visit Ads Manager to manage ad delivery.

This is given by Facebook as part of the company’s new advertising policy which clearly prohibits discrimination by spelling out that advertisers cannot discriminate against people based on “personal attributes such as race, ethnicity, color, national origin, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, family status, disability, medical or genetic condition. Facebook will identify housing, employment, and credit opportunity ads and determine if they either include or exclude multicultural advertising segments.

If the ads are, in fact, including or excluding these segments, Facebook says it will disapprove the ad.

The reason for this is that Facebook keeps on removing target values from time to time, based on their policy upgrades. Update targeting to align with Facebook best practices.
