Certain people in the public eye can become a target for attempts to compromise accounts on social media platforms, including Facebook.
Accounts that face increased risk may need additional protection, that’s where Facebook Protect comes in.
Facebook Protect helps these high-target accounts adopt stronger security protections by simplifying security features like two-factor authentication.
It also provides additional security protections for people’s accounts and Pages, including monitoring for potential hacking threats.
People who may be eligible for Facebook Protect will see prompts on Facebook to learn about the program and enroll.
Facebook plans to continue expanding this program globally in 2022.
No action is required unless you get a notification on Facebook that you are eligible to enroll.
If you have been given a deadline to turn on Facebook Protect and have passed the date, your account may be locked until you turn on Facebook Protect.
