"Today, we're introducing a new policy that will prevent publishers in the U.S. that are structurally tied to the types of entities described above from claiming the news exemption within the ads authorization process. Pages with these connections will still be allowed to register as a news Page and advertise on Facebook, but we're implementing the following restrictions: news Pages with these affiliations will not be eligible for inclusion in Facebook News, and they won't have access to news messaging on the Messenger Business Platform or the WhatsApp business API," Facebook announced in a blog post.
