FB ads audience age and targeting restrictions - question

[OJ731]

Hey guys,

I noticed that I am getting an error that tells me that my audience targetting features aren't available due to having an age range on some ad sets of 15+. I was wondering if anyone had any idea of how this works: Does FB distribute the ads with your targetting features to those 18+, and then sends "watered down" versions of those ads to those under 18, or does having the wide age spread of 15+ on my audience "kill the entire campaign" per se, and turns off all targetting features for all ages.

Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

You should keep in mind that Facebook's maximum defined age is 65+, which covers everyone over the age of 65. Because of Facebook's 13-year-old minimum age requirement, all adverts will only be seen to those who are of legal age to view them. When running advertising for age-restricted items in several markets, advertisers are advised to make the necessary changes to this option before submitting their ads.
