FACEBOOK COMMUNITY STANDARDS

The Facebook Community Standards outline what is and isn't allowed on Facebook.


INTRODUCTION

Every day, people use Facebook to share their experiences, connect with friends
and family, and build communities. It's a service for more than 2 billion people
to freely express themselves across countries and cultures and in dozens of
languages.

Meta recognises how important it is for Facebook to be a place where people feel
empowered to communicate, and we take our role seriously in keeping abuse off
the service. That's why we developed standards for what is and isn't allowed on
Facebook.

These standards are based on feedback from people and the advice of experts in
fields such as technology, public safety and human rights. To ensure that
everyone's voice is valued, we take great care to create standards that include
different views and beliefs, especially from people and communities that might
otherwise be overlooked or marginalised.


Please note that the US English version of the Community Standards reflects the
most up-to-date set of the policies and should be used as the primary document.




OUR COMMITMENT TO VOICE

The goal of our Community Standards is to create a place for expression and give
people a voice. Meta wants people to be able to talk openly about the issues
that matter to them, whether through written comments, photos, music or other
artistic mediums, even if some may disagree or find them objectionable. In some
cases, we allow content – which would otherwise go against our standards – if
it's newsworthy and in the public interest. We do this only after weighing the
public interest value against the risk of harm, and we look to international
human rights standards to make these judgments. In other cases, we may remove
content that uses ambiguous or implicit language when additional context allows
us to reasonably understand that the content goes against our standards.

Our commitment to expression is paramount, but we recognise that the Internet
creates new and increased opportunities for abuse. For these reasons, when we
limit expression, we do it in service of one or more of the following values:


AUTHENTICITY

We want to make sure that the content people see on Facebook is authentic. We
believe that authenticity creates a better environment for sharing, and that's
why we don't want people using Facebook to misrepresent who they are or what
they're doing.


SAFETY

We're committed to making Facebook a safe place. We remove content that could
contribute to a risk of harm to the physical security of persons. Content that
threatens people has the potential to intimidate, exclude or silence others and
isn't allowed on Facebook.


PRIVACY

We're committed to protecting personal privacy and information. Privacy gives
people the freedom to be themselves, choose how and when to share on Facebook
and connect more easily.


DIGNITY

We believe that all people are equal in dignity and rights. We expect that
people will respect the dignity of others and not harass or degrade others.




COMMUNITY STANDARDS

Our Community Standards apply to everyone all around the world, and to all types
of content.

Each section of our Community Standards starts with a "policy rationale" that
sets out the aims of the policy followed by specific policy lines that outline:

Content that's not allowed; and

Content that requires additional information or context to enforce on, content
that is allowed with a warning screen or content that is allowed but can only be
viewed by adults aged 18 and older.
