Meta Rolls Out 'Content Protection' to Flag Reposted Reels Across Facebook and Instagram

Access initially reaches monetized creators, with matches detected only if the original reel was posted on Facebook.

Overview

  • The mobile tool automatically detects copies of a creator’s original reel and alerts them in the Facebook app.
  • Detection spans Facebook and Instagram but requires the original reel to exist on Facebook, including via Instagram’s Share to Facebook option.
  • Enrolled creators can track with attribution and view or monetization stats, block visibility across both apps, or release their claim.
  • Blocking removes the repost from view without additional penalties for the account that uploaded it.
  • Rollout targets creators in Meta’s monetization program and Rights Manager users, with allow lists, dispute options, and IP reporting available.
