â Â Improving Authenticity and Transparency for Pages and Instagram Accounts
In June, we introduced a new “Info & Ads” section on Pages to give people more context about the Pages and ads they see on Facebook.
We will soon begin to show additional information within Info & Ads, including a “Page History” section that shows when a Page has merged with another Page, and a “People Who Manage This Page” section which will surface the primary country locations the Page is managed from.
Additionally, to make it harder for fake accounts to reach people on our platform, we have also begun requiring people who manage some Pages with large U.S. audiences on Facebook to complete an authorization process.
In the coming weeks, Instagram will introduce similar features to allow people to see more information about accounts with large audiences.
