Our Community Standards outline what is and isn't allowed on Instagram, Threads, Facebook and Messenger. When content violates these standards, we remove the content and assign a "strike" to the account that posted it. As strikes accrue, particularly on serious violations, they often come with account restrictions. However, we know everyone makes mistakes. Our research shows that the vast majority of users don't intend to break our rules and may not even be aware that they're doing so.
This feature allows people to erase their first strike and any resulting account restrictions by completing a short educational program. We believe a focus on better explaining our policies rather than just punishing people will be a more effective way of helping people understand our policies and keeping our platforms safe.
In fact, we saw a 15% increase in people feeling they better understood our policies and enforcement.
