Copyright basics

The short version

If a rights holder reports your content, Meta removes it. Fair use is a defense, not a guarantee.

What it means for you

Meta removes copyright and trademark infringement, counterfeits and false brand affiliation when reported, and removes counterfeit-linked content on its own.

Content is allowed when the rights holder authorizes it or when it follows established fair use principles. Meta makes no promise your use will be judged fair.

✓ Do

  • Use your own footage, licensed stock or Meta's licensed audio.
  • Get written permission for anything else.

✕ Don't

  • Upload movie, TV or sports clips because 'everyone does it'.
