Mark Zuckerberg takes big decision, set to affect billions of Meta users in India, world due to….

Meta is cracking down on the AI-generated spam on Facebook by restricting monetization and visibility of these accounts that repeatedly share unoriginal content. The company announced that it will stop recommending such posts and revoke monetization privileges for repeat offenders to protect authentic creators.

Facebook Cracks Down On AI-Generated Spam

Traditional plagiarism at least required manual effort but AI tools can make thousands of altered versions of popular posts. These types of content are now flooding platforms with low-effort duplicates and overshadowing the original creators. The new policy wants to address growing complaints from content creators whose work is getting ignored due these AI-generated posts.

Meta stated that while creators are still allowed to share or remix others’ content, they must include “meaningful enhancements” to avoid penalties. Simple edits like adding a watermark or making minor visual changes, won’t be enough.

Meta On New Policy

After AI content, the original content creators were facing a huge loss in terms of number of views or income through ads.

“Too often, the same meme or video surfaces repeatedly, sometimes from accounts falsely claiming to be the original creator, other times from spammy profiles. It clutters the platform and makes it harder for new voices to be heard,” Meta explained in a blog post.

As part of the policy update, Facebook will also reduce the reach of duplicate content, experiment with attribution links to connect reposted material to the original source, and give preference to original content in user feeds. These changes will be introduced gradually in the coming months.

To help users stay compliant, Meta is adding tools that let content creators check if their accounts are at risk of losing visibility or monetization access.
