Summary
Removed blanket prohibition on external traffic redirection (links, phone numbers, QR codes, handles) from Content Policy. Now embedded in comprehensive creator/seller content rules with enforcement through removal and account restrictions.
Why it matters
Prior outbound-link ban is now gone but replaced by broader misleading-content and fraud prohibitions. Creators/sellers must verify they comply with new exaggerated-claims and charitable-claims rules instead. Non-compliance triggers removal, violation points, feature restrictions.
Recommended action
Review all existing Shop content using external links, QR codes, or contact info. Audit against new false-claims, charitable-claims, and exaggeration standards. Remove or update non-compliant posts to avoid enforcement action.
No new content was added in this update.
