Meta has officially released a new update for Facebook, allowing users to check copyright violations within the platform before publishing any Reel.
This Meta update is also part of a broader strategy that includes the launch of a new artificial intelligence (AI) division, Meta Superintelligence Labs, to drive cutting-edge advancements.
According to Meta, the new update directly integrates copyright scanning into the Reels creation process on Facebook.
Previously available only through Meta’s Business Suite, the tool alerts creators to potential copyright issues while they build their content.
To note, creators can select to turn this feature on or off, but if enabled, it will scan the video before it goes live. If copyrighted material is detected, the video’s publication could be delayed for up to an hour, giving the user time to make edits.
As this Meta update rolls out to more users, it adds an extra layer of security for creators who depend on their videos for engagement and revenue.
With this new update, Meta aims to make content creation on its platforms safer and more reliable.
In addition, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has reorganised the company’s AI initiatives under the new Meta Superintelligence Labs, appointing Alexandr Wang as Chief AI Officer.
The company plans to fast-track projects in artificial general intelligence and expand tools like Meta AI, image-to-video ad platforms, and smart glasses to boost future earnings.
