Our Community Standards and Community Guidelines tell you what is and isn’t allowed on our apps. We make them public, and report regularly on how much content we take action on for violating these policies. While the rules have been the same, they have lived in two different places: our Community Guidelines for Instagram and Threads, and our Community Standards for Facebook and Messenger.
On November 12, we’ll be streamlining this for our users to only one set of rules, the Community Standards, for Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and Threads. The rules themselves aren’t changing, but they will be in one place, easily accessible to all of our users.
While there are nuances for each app—for example, Instagram doesn’t have groups or you don’t have to use your authentic identity on Instagram but you do on Facebook—these nuances are now captured in this one set of policies.
While a small change, we’re confident it will make it easier for all of our users to find and understand the policies for using our apps.
