What information do I need to include in a copyright report to Meta?
The fastest and easiest way to submit a claim of copyright infringement on Facebook to us is to report it. Whether you submit your report through our online form or another method, Facebook needs the following information to be able to process your report:
- Your complete contact information (full name, postal address and phone number)*.
- A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed.
- A description of the content on our site that you claim infringes your copyright.
- Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material on our site. The easiest way to do this is by providing web addresses (URLs) that lead directly to the allegedly infringing content.
- A declaration that:
- you have a belief, based on good faith, that use of the copyrighted content described above, in the manner you have complained of, is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law;
- the information in your notice is accurate;
- under penalty of perjury, you are the owner or authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive copyright that has been allegedly infringed.
- Your electronic signature or physical signature.
*Please note that we regularly provide your name, contact information and the contents of your report to the person who posted the content you are reporting. If you are an authorised representative submitting a report, we provide the name of the organisation or client that owns the right in question. For this reason, you may wish to provide a professional or business email address.
