We recognize how important it is for Facebook to be a place where people feel empowered to create connections and build communities. That's why we do our best to make sure these communities are safe, with constantly evolving policies! This way, our platforms stay up-to-date in our ever-changing digital landscape. We always take community feedback into account, along with the advice of experts in fields like technology, public safety, and human rights.
It's also important that our partners are well-familiarized with our Community Standards to avoid repeat violations that could affect distribution and monetization eligibility (or even worse, result in the suspension of your account). To help, we created our new Community Standards e-course, a quick and easy guide for partners to understand what they can and cannot do when publishing on our platforms.
