Community Standards Enforcement Report

We want Facebook and Instagram to be places where people have a voice. To create conditions where everyone feels comfortable expressing themselves, we must also protect their safety, privacy, dignity and authenticity. This is why we have the Community Standards, which define what is and is not allowed in our community.

H1 2026 Report

We publish the Community Standards Enforcement Report semi-annually, with data broken down quarterly, to more effectively track our progress and demonstrate our continued commitment to making Facebook and Instagram safe and inclusive.

Key Takeaways for H1 2026

Last year we began providing new data on our global enforcement precision as a measure of over-enforcement. At the end of H1 2026, global enforcement precision averaged around 91% on Facebook and around 92% on Instagram.

Prevalence of violating content remained consistent across most problem areas, with two exceptions:

On Facebook, prevalence for adult nudity and sexual activity decreased (0.10 - 0.11% in Q4 2025 to 0.07 - 0.08% in Q2 2026) by deploying LLMs to close enforcement gaps.
Prevalence of violent and graphic content increased by 0.05% on both Facebook (0.15% - 0.16% in Q4 2025 to 0.20% - 0.21% during Q2 2026) and on Instagram (0.09% to 0.10% in Q4 2025 to 0.14% - 0.15% during Q2 2026) due to real world events.
