Facebook plans to restrict addiction treatment ads
Facebook is planning to announce new restrictions on advertisements for addiction treatment centers today, amid concerns about shoddy facilities that advertise to patients. Going forward, the site says it'll only allow treatment centers to advertise after they've been certified by an outside company. That company, LegitScript, will review a center's background, qualifications, and compliance with licensing requirements.
The news comes as technology companies face growing pressure to help address the opioid crisis. In June, Facebook announced that users trying to buy opioids or seeking addiction treatment would be redirected to information about a federal crisis help line. The technology giant also took part in an "opioids summit" convened by the FDA earlier this summer.
