General guidance, not legal advice: when to label AI-generated content, and what to check before you post.
What platforms tend to look at
Platform rules on AI-generated content focus mostly on whether people could be misled: realistic depictions of real people, places or events, and altered footage presented as real. Clearly illustrated or stylised graphics are usually treated differently. Some platforms can also add their own AI labels to content they detect as AI-made.
Ads have stricter rules
Advertising policies are usually stricter than the rules for ordinary posts, especially around claims and sensitive topics. Read each platform's ad policy as well as its community rules, and remember that local advertising law applies too.
How Melon Cut helps you check
Melon Cut Design's Check for social media reviews a finished post against summaries of official Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and TikTok guidance, and either says it is compatible or lists what to fix. It is a helpful check before you post, not legal advice or a promise that a post will be accepted.
