On Thursday Facebook announced that it will be offering a Community Standards 15-minute e-course to explain how their policies are enforced and how they work to keep their communities safe.
Facebook e-course: lessons to help avoid violating community standards
The tech company says it is important that its partners are well-familiarised with Community Standards to avoid repeating violations that could affect distribution and monetisation eligibility, or even worse, result in the suspension of your account.
The Community Standards crash course will be divided into three lessons which include, how Facebook policies strive to keep its communities safe, understanding what is and isn’t allowed on its platforms, policy enforcement, consequences, and appeals.
How Facebook policies strive to keep its communities safe
This lesson will help you understand how Facebook Community Standards and other policies keep its communities safe and platforms welcoming. It will help you become familiar with the policies that media partners need to follow to publish and monetise content on the Facebook platforms. You will also learn why Facebook has Community Standards and other policies, and understand how they develop them.
Understand what is and isn’t allowed on the platforms
You will be able to distinguish what is and isn’t allowed on its platforms, and understand why. You will also learn about common violations news publishers make and how you, as a news entity, can avoid them.
