What is Connected Entities Violation in Facebook?

A “Connected Entities Violation” on Facebook monetization means that your Page, profile, or account is being penalized because it’s linked to another account or Page that broke Facebook’s monetization policies.

What It Means

Facebook (Meta) uses “connected entities” to group Pages, ad accounts, profiles, or Business Managers that share:

• The same admins or partners
• The same payment methods
• The same business assets (like ad accounts or Instagram accounts)
• Or are otherwise linked in Business Manager

If any of those connected accounts violates monetization or community standards, all connected entities can lose eligibility or face restrictions.

Common Reasons for Connected Entities Violations

1. A linked Page or profile is restricted or banned
• For example, if another Page you manage was caught sharing misleading or reused content.
2. Someone with access to your Page (admin, editor, advertiser) has a restricted or ineligible account.
3. A connected Business Manager or ad account violated Facebook’s policies (e.g., for spam, misleading ads, or policy circumvention).
4. Evasion attempts — e.g., creating new Pages to replace a previously restricted one.

What’s “Wrong” (in Facebook’s Eyes)

From Facebook’s perspective:

• You’re responsible for who you connect your monetized Page with.
• If you share access with someone violating the rules, your Page’s trustworthiness is lowered.
• The system flags this as a “Connected Entities Violation” to prevent policy evasion or network abuse.

 How to Fix or Appeal

1. Check your Monetization Manager → Policy Issues tab
• You’ll see the specific violation and possibly the connected Page or account.
2. Remove or restrict access for any admins or partners who might have policy violations.
3. Unlink the problematic Business Manager, Page, or ad account if possible.
4. Request a review in Monetization Manager after cleaning up connections.
5. Ensure compliance with:
• Meta’s Partner Monetization Policies
• Community Standards
• Content Monetization Policies

Pro Tip

Even if your Page itself is clean, being connected to bad actors can still trigger violations. Always:

• Audit your admin list regularly.
• Avoid adding unknown collaborators or agencies.

• • Keep your Business Manager tidy — only include verified, compliant partners.
