In a move seeming to be a good under the guise of bad, Facebook has made some significant changes to the monetisation policies for content creators on the platform.
The biggest toll this time's monetisation policy changes have taken on creators: numerous pages, some of them using Facebook’s Rights Manager for their original content, were demonetised or lost their revenue sources during the past 24 to 48 hours even without committing policy violations or receiving any notification to have done so.
Despite fully complying with Facebook’s content guidelines, countless content creators and page owners are now fearing demonetisation out of the blue, given the nullification of various others losing access to their earnings from stream ads, reel ads, photo post earnings, and story monetisation.
Experts in the realm of social media content attributed the far-spanning wave of demonetisation to a new content monetisation system released by the Meta-owned platform.
A notable change in Facebook's updated monetisation policy for Pakistani content creators is the prohibition of Pakistani bank accounts and tax details.
Facebook's updated monetisation policy now requires Pakistani content creators to provide financial details from eligible countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, and India.
To regain or establish their monetisation, Pakistan-based creators are now obliged to ensure that the bank account and tax details are of the same eligible country, the financial details are accurate and in line with official records, and the provided details are not fabricated or third-party, which might lead to permanent monetisation disablement.
