Facebook often sees posts that users have stolen from others, but now Meta has announced strict measures in this regard, under which users who post stolen content will not only face punishment but will also not be able to earn income from Facebook.
In April 2025, Meta announced changes to Facebook aimed at preventing the posting of spam and stolen content, and now these policies have begun to be implemented.
According to the company, stolen content spoils the experience of Facebook users because some people copy and paste other people’s content for more views, followers or income.
Meta clarified that strict action will be taken against accounts that post stolen content.
Accounts that repeatedly use other people’s content will have their access to Facebook’s monetization programs temporarily closed.
In addition, the reach of their posts will also be limited so that they reach the minimum number of people.
The company is also testing a new system that will add links to the original content in stolen videos so that the original creator gets credit.
The announcement comes as YouTube has also updated its policies on cracking down on stolen content and monetization.
