Can I steal the homepage-banner image from a website and promote it?

[Somehow999]

I did steal a homepage banner image from a website, and want to promote my website on Meta ads, but this website is also running a lot of ads there. So any chance my ads can be declined by algorithms?

Hi @Somehow999 

Yes, there is a chance your ads could be declined by Meta's algorithms if you're using stolen or copyrighted material. Meta has strict guidelines regarding intellectual property, and if they detect that your banner image is copyrighted or stolen, your ad could be rejected. To avoid this, it's best to either create your own unique image or ensure that you have proper rights to use the image in your ads.
