Facebook’s New Monetization Policy Hurts Pakistani Creators
Facebook has quietly updated its content monetization policy, leading to widespread demonetization of Pakistani creators. Many content producers have suddenly lost access to earnings despite adhering to community guidelines and creating original content.
What’s Changed?
The biggest change in Facebook’s financial eligibility criteria now restricts Pakistani bank accounts and tax details from being used for monetization. Creators must now link their financial details to eligible countries, including:
- United States
- United Kingdom
- India
- United Arab Emirates
- Other approved nations
As a result, even legitimate creators who comply with all guidelines are being automatically demonetized if they fail to meet these new requirements.

Why Are Pakistani Creators Getting Demonetized?
Here are some of the main reasons behind the widespread loss of monetization:
- Bank accounts not registered in eligible countries
- Mismatch between tax details and payout accounts
- Use of third-party or incorrect financial information
- Inconsistent or unverifiable payout data
How to Regain Monetization
Creators can still restore their monetization by:
- Providing bank and tax details from the same eligible country
- Ensuring financial information exactly matches official records
- Avoiding fake or borrowed details to prevent permanent bans
- Submitting accurate and verifiable documents during verification
Facebook has become more strict about financial discrepancies. If a payout verification fails, the platform now permanently revokes a page’s monetization.
Final Thoughts
Pakistani content creators now face a tough choice—either adjust their financial setup or lose access to earnings. While the policy shift makes it harder for local creators to monetize, those who comply with the new requirements can still maintain their income streams.
