Meta announced on Monday that it will begin enforcing stricter measures against Facebook accounts that repeatedly share unoriginal content, including reused text, images, and videos, as part of a broader push to protect content integrity and support original creators on the platform.<\/p>\n

The announcement, made through a blog post on Meta’s website, revealed that it has already removed around 10 million accounts this year for impersonating well-known content creators, and taken action against an additional 500,000 profiles engaged in spam tactics or generating fake engagement.<\/p>\n

These actions include reducing the visibility of posts and comments, as well as suspending access to Facebook\u2019s monetisation programmes.<\/p>\n

The update follows similar policy changes by YouTube, which recently moved to clarify its own stance on mass-produced, repetitive videos,\u00a0particularly those enabled by generative AI. Meta stated that users who transform existing content through commentary, reactions, or trends will not be affected.<\/p>\n

Instead, enforcement will focus on accounts that simply repost material – either through spam networks or by impersonating the original creator.<\/p>\n

Accounts found to be repeatedly violating these standards will face penalties, including being barred from monetising their content and a reduction in the distribution of their posts across Facebook\u2019s algorithmic feeds.<\/p>\n

Meta is also testing a new feature that will insert links in duplicate videos directing viewers to the original source, a move aimed at ensuring that original creators receive proper attribution.<\/p>\n

The shift arrives at a time when content across social platforms has become increasingly saturated with low-quality, AI-generated media.<\/p>\n

While Meta did not explicitly mention \u201cAI slop\u201d (a term used to describe bland or poorly produced AI content) the company\u2019s guidance appears to address such material indirectly.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes amid growing frustration among creators about Facebook\u2019s automated enforcement mechanisms.<\/p>\n

A petition signed by nearly 30,000 users has called for better human oversight and clearer appeals processes, citing widespread issues with wrongful account suspensions, according to TechCrunch.<\/p>\n

The new enforcement policies will be rolled out gradually over the coming months, giving creators time to adapt. Facebook\u2019s Professional Dashboard now includes post-level insights to help users understand how their content is being evaluated, and whether it may be at risk of demotion or monetisation restrictions.<\/p>\n

In its most recent Transparency Report, Meta said that 3% of Facebook\u2019s monthly active users worldwide are fake accounts, and it acted on 1 billion such profiles in the first quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n

As the company continues to refine its approach, it is also leaning more heavily on community-based fact-checking in the US,\u00a0using a model similar to X\u2019s Community Notes, instead of relying solely on internal moderation teams.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
