Meta Community Standards changes — first seen 2026-09-10 (NOTED)

What changed, in plain language

The only change in this update is a rename of one policy section in the Community Standards table of contents: 'Fraud, Scams, and Deceptive Practices' is now called 'Prohibited Commercial Practices,' with a matching new web address. No policy text, rules, or user rights are shown to have changed.

This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).
