Your account can be disabled, your page can be removed, your ability to post media can be restricted, and in extreme cases Facebook might facilitate someone taking legal action against you. Repeatedly violating copyright – or at least having your content removed because of it – will cause more penalties to rack up for your page. A counter-claim will cause either the original claim to be removed, or will escalate into a potential legal battle, so be careful with how much value you put on the content you post. You are notified why the content was removed, and you are given a link to dispute the copyright claim if you believe either you own the rights to the content or your use of the content is fair use. When you are accused of violating copyright or trademark on Facebook, the first thing that generally happens is your content is removed. If you’re curious how that works, look up some posts about reporting a copyright violation. Facebook will do some soft investigation when a user submits a copyright report, but they will usually only act on a report if it is accompanied by an official legal request. You can still be hit with copyright strikes for images and other content as well.Ī large part of Facebook’s copyright system depends on user-submitted reports. They have some automatic content filtering, and it can be extremely sensitive, but it mostly just applies to their livestream system and their videos. How strong that penalty is, how long it lasts, and when it goes away is all variable.įacebook doesn’t have a huge, broken system like YouTube’s Content ID. Remember: You Mean Nothing to Them Copyright Strikes and Penaltiesįacebook has a copyright strikes system similar to YouTube, except they don’t tell you about it, there’s no way to monitor the number of strikes you have active without manually paying attention, the whole thing is variable based on the offense, and as always with Facebook, it’s variably enforced.īasically, a copyright violation – or trademark violation, or other violation of intellectual property rights – on Facebook means you get a penalty on your account.
