Meta will be reorganizing its policy enforcement system in response to recommendations by the Facebook Oversight Board.
The company stated it will help users understand the reasons it has taken down their content. It is moving towards a policy of’seven strikes or you’re out” to deal with most offenses, and not immediately blocking them from posting for thirty days.
According to the company, nearly 80 percent of those users who have had a few strikes do not violate their policies in the following 60 days. This indicates that people are responsive to warnings and explanations.
Monika Bickert (Vice President of Content Policy), says that “our analysis suggests that applying harsher penalties at the 7th strike is an effective way to provide well-intentioned individuals the guidance and still remove bad actors.”
