Meta has announced updates for Facebook, with the intention of prioritizing original content and reduce the reach of copied posts. The company has also introduced clearer guidelines explaining what qualifies as original content. In addition, Meta is testing updates to its existing content protection system that would allow creators to report impersonators and better protect their work. Meta said the changes are intended to improve content recommendations in Feed and Reels while reducing spam and imitation accounts on the platform.
Meta stated that it has been working over the past year to reduce spam and copied content that often crowds out original creators. The company said it is now prioritizing posts that are created directly by the account owner. It also noted that as the distribution of original content grows across Feed and Reels, payout opportunities for creators are increasing.
Meta has updated its guidelines to clarify what it considers original content on Facebook and how such posts are treated in recommendations. The company said the changes are meant to highlight genuine creator content and reduce the reach of copied or low-effort posts.
Additionally, Meta said it is improving tools that help creators protect their work. The company launched a content protection system last year that automatically detects when original Reels appear elsewhere across its platforms.
