Media rating council says social-media giant could be denied accreditation [paywalled]
From a Reuters synopsis, not paywalled:
The company failed to address advertiser concerns arising from a 2019 audit, concerning how Facebook measures and reports data about video advertisements, the Journal reported, citing a notice from the Media Rating Council (MRC).
“These exchanges are part of the audit process. We will continue working with MRC on accreditation, as we have since 2016,” a Facebook spokesperson said.
The MRC confirmed that the audit of Facebook is in process but did not provide details, citing its policy.
