New Content Regulations for Original Content

Facebook has recently changed its content regulations, which specify what types of content can be classified as original. This change has been introduced to specify what content is rewarding, what is of good quality, and what should be shown more in recommendations. With this in mind, keep in mind the following:

Content that is filmed and produced by a creator or the owner of a profile/page, is original content to Facebook.

  • Reels that contain some third content that is more the creative, original on-screen presence of the creator, and supportive, original presence of the creator, and is in the presence of a creator is of original nature.

Facebook is aware of multiple challenges regarding its potential enforcement of alleged creator faux originality and copyright infringement. Many creators have the opportunity to learn more about the Facebook appeals process.

Reporting Potential Impersonation

Not only is Facebook attempting to support original content on its platform, but it is also focused on designing and implementing new features allowing content creators to protect and expand their content.

Since last year, Facebook has been able to protect and enforce original content, specifically Facebook reels, and enable creators to take actions when reels are identically matched across the Facebook ecosystem. Facebook is now able to test new features for the content protection tool, which includes anti-impersonation Canva and one-click reporting. Many creators with content protection are expected to be among the first to experience these features.

  • Content creators are able to monitor their professional dashboard for access to protection tools and content.
  • Meta appreciates and values its users’ creativity. Meta’s original content features and protection tools allow content creators to express themselves.
