Facebook is now offering content creators workarounds to avoid the infamous "Facebook Jail" and retain their platform even after incurring supposed violations.
In a blog post on Wednesday, Meta announced the revision of its Community Standards to allow its Professional Mode users to remove the violation warning and platform restrictions that come with the notification.
Content Creators to Undergo 'Educational Training' to Avoid 'Facebook Jail'
Content creators all need to do is complete "an in-app educational training" to remove the warning tag. Enrolled users can take the "educational training" again a year after incurring their first violation.
This will be in addition to giving its content creators more chance to contest the unintentional violation notices, a trend Facebook has acknowledged "can be alarming and in some cases disruptive."
However, posts containing sexual exploitation, illicit drug sales, and glorification of violence, would be ineligible for the violation notice removal.
The new Facebook will be exclusive to its Professional Mode users, although the company hinted at plans to "roll it out more broadly in the coming months."
Facebook Revamps Content Creation Platform to Capture More Younger Audiences
The revision in its Community Standards around content creators marks the platform's shift to market itself again to younger users amid uncertainties in other social platforms.
Over the past months, Facebook has been updating its algorithm to recommend more content targeted at younger users as many fled to the platform amid the looming ban on TikTok.
As noted in a recent Pew Research Center study, Facebook has been slowly regaining younger users in the platform while previous mainstream sites like YouTube and TikTok experienced declines.
Meta claimed that it already has over 40 million young adults across Canada and the US using the app daily, its biggest number in several years.
The introduction of content creator-friendly policies can be seen as revamped efforts from the platform that have long dissuaded many users from moving due to its strict Community Standards.
