Meta is expanding its feature that helps users avoid “ Facebook jail.” Earlier this year, the company began allowing Facebook creators to complete in-app “ educational training ” for first-time rule violations in order to avoid strikes on their accounts. Now, the company is, the idea of the feature is a bit like going to traffic school.
Users will be able to take advantage of the process once in a 12-month period for most first-time offenses. The process to “remove the warning” on an account will be available to anyone on Facebook, as well as creators on Instagram Meta won’t allow people to remove strikes for more “serious” offenses, including posts about sexual exploitation or drug sales.
Meta has described the strike-removal feature as part of its effort to reform its penalty system, which has long been frustrating and confusing for users who often get caught up in it unintentionally. In a blog post, Meta said that the in-app education features have already shown some signs of success with Facebook creators.
