What triggers it

Repeatedly reusing other creators' videos, photos or text without permission or meaningful enhancement; duplicate videos are also shown less in favour of the original.

What Facebook says

“will not only lose access to Facebook monetization programs for a period of time, but will also receive reduced distribution on everything they share.”

How to fix it

Post primarily original content; check Support home in the Professional Dashboard for recommendation or monetization penalties and appeal mistakes.

Can FYProof spot it?

A full check of your video looks for it in what's shown. What a check finds is an estimate, not a guarantee.

  • Video: looked at for this rule
  • Speech: not for this rule
  • On-screen text: not for this rule
  • Caption: not for this rule
  • Hashtags: not for this rule

It doesn't recognize songs or match clips against copyright catalogs, so it can't tell whether you have the rights to them.

Part of this rule depends on your account or on what happens after you post, which a check before posting can't see.

Platforms change their rules often. This page sums up what Facebook publishes; it isn't legal advice.
