We are committed to protecting your voice and helping you connect and share safely.
When we’re open to hearing each other with tolerance and respect, we all benefit.
Social media has enabled more voices to be heard, but some people use it to do harm.
That’s why we have Community Standards that specify what’s allowed on our apps, and we remove anything that breaks these rules. For content that doesn’t violate our rules but has been rated false by independent fact-checkers, we reduce its distribution to help prevent it from going viral. We also provide context about what you see so you can make your own decisions on what to read, trust and share.
FINDING AND REMOVING VIOLATING CONTENT
We remove hate speech, harassment, threats of violence and other content that has the potential to silence others or cause harm.
REDUCING THE SPREAD OF MISINFORMATION
We work to limit the spread of misinformation and give you context to make your own decisions on what to read, trust and share.
HOLDING OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE
We won’t always get it right, so we invite people to appeal our content decisions. We also track and share our progress in making Facebook's apps safer.
IMPACT HIGHLIGHT
We cut engagement with fake news on Facebook by more than half according to multiple independent studies.
