Facebook and Instagram

Registry grouping for Meta's jointly documented content-enforcement architecture across Facebook and Instagram. Meta describes content enforcement across both services ("Meta takes a three-part approach to content enforcement on Facebook and Instagram: remove, reduce and inform") and publishes service-specific EU transparency reporting for Facebook and for Instagram. This is a deliberate Registry grouping, not a claim that "Facebook and Instagram" is a Meta-branded commercial product. Threads is not included.

• High-Confidence AI Content Violation Removal

  Active · verified 2026-10-03

  Meta uses AI models to predict whether an individual piece of user-generated content on Facebook or Instagram violates a specific policy; a separate enforcement system applies Meta's policies and confidence requirements to that prediction and can delete the content automatically without individual pre-removal human approval. Meta focuses these proactive systems on supported illegal and high-severity enforcement areas and has tuned them to require a much higher degree of confidence before content is taken down. Other content is sent for human review, some removals require multiple reviewers, and enforcement based solely on matching previously identified violating content is excluded.
