Misinformation

Ads must comply with the Community Standard on Misinformation.

Meta prohibits ads that include content debunked by third-party fact-checkers. Advertisers that repeatedly post information deemed to be false may have restrictions placed on their ability to advertise across Meta technologies. Find out more about our fact-checking programme.

Meta also prohibits ads that include misinformation that violates our Community Standards.

Overview

Advertisers can't run ads that include content debunked by third-party fact checkers or that violates our Community Standards. At Meta, we're committed to fighting the spread of misinformation across our technologies. While it's impossible to eliminate misinformation from the Internet entirely, we're using research, teams and technologies to tackle it in the most effective and comprehensive way possible.

Guidelines

In addition to the requirements in our Community Standard on Misinformation, ads cannot contain content debunked by third-party fact-checkers.
