Site terms and policies
Anti-scam Hub
United States (English)
Our policies outline what we do and don’t allow on our technologies, and have been thoughtfully created to help protect people and businesses.
These policies prohibit a wide range of harmful content types, including fraud and deception — content that purposefully deceives, willfully misrepresents or otherwise defrauds or exploits others for money or property.
At Meta, you’re in charge and in control to stay safe, secure your account, and report something that violates our policies.
Take advantage of our safety tools:
The most important thing that you can do if you see something that violates our policies is report it to us. Individuals and businesses can use these tools. Reporting sends a signal to us that something is wrong, and helps improve the quality of your experience on our technologies in the long term. Businesses can report ads or content that they believe harms their brand and violates our policies. You can report anything using these tools.
We require many businesses to undergo verification to confirm the identities of the business and its representatives before they can use certain tools or features. We’ve designed our systems and verification requirements to reflect the varied sizes, complexities and audiences of the businesses and organizations that use our technology.
Verification requirements include activities such as:
Verifies the authenticity of people or organizations who manage Pages with a large audience.
Required for business app developers who want to use certain APIs.
A service that allows mobile app developers to display ads in their apps from Facebook advertisers, and earn money. To screen suspicious app developers trying to onboard onto AN, we require certain developers to go through Business Verification or Identity Verification.
Companies that Meta has vetted for their expertise in helping grow our customer’s business—from running ads, to selling products, to engaging with customers. We require all prospective Meta Business Partners (MBPs) to verify their business before promoting them to Badged Partners. The Meta Business Partner badge is awarded to companies who meet the highest standards of performance and service.
New advertisers may be required to have a verified phone number associated with their ad account before publishing ads. The required step will prompt an account admin to verify a phone number by confirming a randomly generated code sent by Meta via SMS, Voice, or WhatsApp, before publishing ads.
You can use your fingerprint, face, or screen lock to verify it’s you with a passkey. When you register, you can use the passkey instead of an SMS.
You can now do this on your Android or iOS device.
