Meta Rolls Out Mobile Tool to Protect Facebook Reels From Reposts

Access is rolling out to eligible monetized creators, with Rights Manager users included, as Meta emphasizes stronger originality controls.

Overview

  • Facebook Content Protection uses Rights Manager matching to alert creators when their original Reels are reposted on Facebook or Instagram.
  • Matches are detected only if the original Reel was posted to Facebook or shared via Instagram’s Share to Facebook option.
  • Creators can choose to track with attribution and view metrics, block visibility across both platforms, or release the claim.
  • Blocking reduces a copied Reel’s distribution without penalizing the posting account, with safeguards that include allow lists, default tracking, dispute and IP reporting routes, and penalties for false claims.
  • The feature is mobile-only at launch with desktop integration in testing, and availability is expanding to creators in Meta’s Content Monetization program and to Rights Manager users, with others able to apply.
