On 12 December 2025, Meta updated Facebook and Instagram’s policy on inauthentic behaviour. Rather than using explicit language to prohibit specific cases, particularly those related to politics and elections, the policy now adopts a more content-agnostic framing.

Subcategories of prohibited actions (e.g. distribution, audience building, foreign inauthentic behaviour, and engagement) have been removed and consolidated under a broader prohibitions focusing on deception, evasion of enforcement, and misuse of reporting tools.

The version of the Community Guidelines can be found here.
