According to InsideFacebook.com, Facebook has been asking platform developers to stop using Google Adsense, and switch to a supported Ad network. This isn’t just targeted at Google, but any non approved ad network. Google has not signed the Platform Terms for Advertising Providers created by Facebook to bind the advertisers to Facebook’s policies.
Originially, Facebook provided a list of approved advertising networks, and then required the publishers to follow the policies for any advertiser that was not approved. Thus putting the responsibility on the publisher. Then Facebook provided a date of February 28th for developers to start only using approved advertising networks. But now, Facebook is starting to ask the developers to only use an approved advertiser and enforcing it. Google is not one of those approved advertisers because they have not signed the terms agreement. Facebook is starting to send emails to Facebook developers who are still using Adsense and asking them to change to someone that is approved.
It will be interesting to see if Google does sign the terms, and thus allow Facebook developers to use Google Adsense.
