Thousands of Pages, flagged for “Inauthentic Engagement” they never did.
Inauthentic Engagement is the label Facebook applies when its automated systems decide some of an account’s followers, views, or engagement aren’t from a natural, authentic audience — a call that can cut reach, disable monetization, and freeze payouts. This independent registry documents verified cases where creators believe they were flagged in error.
What is Inauthentic Engagement?
Inauthentic Engagement is the phrasing Facebook uses when its automated systems judge that some of an account’s followers, views, or engagement are artificial rather than coming from a natural, authentic audience. Under Meta’s Partner Monetization Policies, that determination can reduce distribution, disable monetization, or freeze payouts. Because it is applied at enormous scale by automated review, legitimate creators can be caught by mistake — the false positives this project exists to document.
We consolidate those cases into a single, consistent, verifiable record: neutral language, evidence-backed, only anonymized and aggregated figures made public, with plain statements of what the data can and cannot show. Read the full explainer on Inauthentic Engagement →
One ticket is an anecdote. Thousands of documented cases are evidence.
Every verified report increases the likelihood this is recognized as a systemic platform problem rather than an isolated account issue — the difference between something easy to dismiss and something hard to ignore.
Turn scattered complaints into one dataset
Reports are spread across forums and support threads where no one can see the whole picture. The registry consolidates them into a single, consistent, verifiable record.
Every report is reviewed, not just collected
Submissions move through Pending, Verified, or Needs-more-information states. Clean, moderated data is far more credible than a pile of raw complaints.
Evidence built for people who can act
Aggregated findings are prepared for creators, journalists, creator organizations, and — through professional channels — Meta and policymakers.
Built to protect you, not expose you.
Some contributors have hundreds of thousands of followers and six-figure businesses. Contributing should never put any of that at risk. Reports are anonymous by default.

Five short steps. About four minutes.
A progress bar, plain questions, and measurable facts rather than opinions — designed to produce data that holds up to scrutiny.
About the Page
Country, language, follower count, reach before the restriction, and whether it was monetized.
The restriction
Which enforcement actions you received, when they started, and whether they’re still active.
The impact
Frozen payouts, earnings before the restriction, reach drop, and any lost business.
Evidence
Optional screenshots, dashboards, support tickets, case IDs. Stored privately, never published.
Context questions
Measurable facts — e.g. did you ever buy followers? When 99% answer “no,” the dataset gets stronger.
