Misinformation

The short version

Content rated false by a fact-checker can't be monetized, and repeated false content can disqualify the account.

What it means for you

Misinformation is on the prohibited list in the Content Monetization Policies. Under the account rules, sharing false news, or content an authorized body reports as unlawful, can make you ineligible.

Meta announced in January 2025 that it was ending third-party fact-checking in the US in favor of Community Notes. Fact-checkers still operate in other countries. Separately, Meta still removes misinformation that risks physical harm or interferes with voting.
