On 12 December 2025, Facebook updated its 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.
