Flashspoter - Meta has finally responded to complaints by creators who for years have been made dizzy by irresponsible accounts that often repost their videos without permission. Now, Facebook, Instagram, and Facebook's parent company have taken a step further to provide user-friendly tools for content theft monitoring and handling. These improvements are mainly focused on the Reels short video format, which is by far the most frequent type of content that is being copied.
So far, creators have been able to use Rights Manager, a special platform for managing copyright, but the tool is more complicated and is only used by some professional creators. With Content Protection now coming directly to the Facebook app, Meta hopes this feature will be much more accessible to a wider range of creators, especially those who actively publish Reels.
Technically, Content Protection works by automatically scanning the creator's original video. When the system finds similar or identical Reels, either fully or only partially, uploaded by other accounts, they will appear on the creator-only dashboard. This mechanism allows creators to quickly see who re-uploaded their content and what the account did with the reposted video.
This Dashboard doesn't just show the names of accounts that “borrowed” content without permission. Creators can also see a number of additional details that make it easier for them to determine their next steps. For example, how many views the repost video has, whether the video is monetized by the perpetrator's account, to how much reach has been obtained. For creators who are building a brand or revenue from content, this kind of information is obviously very important.
Once repost content is detected, Content Protection offers three main action options, Track, Block, and Release.
The Track option allows creators to tag repost videos with an automatic attribution label. This label features a link that takes the user directly to the creator's original video, hence the viewers understand that the content is not the original one of the re-uploading account. In the same vein, the artists are able to keep an eye on the execution of their reposts, thus being informed of the new views that can be associated with the popularity of their content.
The second option is Block, which is an action that makes the repost video no longer viewable by other users. Facebook Instagram said the ban does not impose any penalties or penalties on the account of the re-uploader, it only makes the content of the repost inaccessible on Facebook or Instagram. In other words, this option is purely to limit the circulation of unlicensed videos.
On the other hand, the Release button will function if the maker decides not to keep an eye on the repost video. Once chosen, the video will be removed from the Content Protection dashboard, and creators will no longer receive notifications of its performance. Generally, this option is the use of a repost video from a small account that does not have a significant influence or is considered safe.
Facebook Instagram reposts can figure out the reposts that happen on Instagram, but you should keep in mind that Content Protection is only effective when the original video is uploaded to Facebook. This is one of the conditions for the system to be able to match and show the data correctly. Meta said that the feature is being gradually made available to creators who are already in the monetization program and meet the originality standards, as well as creators who have been using the Rights Manager previously. However, other creators who want to try it are also allowed to apply for access.
With the increasingly widespread practice of content theft in the era of short videos, especially Reels, the presence of Content Protection is certainly good news for creators. This functionality is not only a shield, but also a means for the creators to have more authority regarding how their creations are shared. In the end, this is one of the ways that Meta backs the original artists so that they can still be seen, acknowledged, and given the opportunity to earn in a fair manner despite the tough competition of content online.
