Overview
About this tool
Reads a caption against the vocabulary behind the categories Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Threads and YouTube publish in their community guidelines — regulated goods, engagement bait, health claims, self-harm and the rest — and says which category each flagged word belongs to. It is the multi-platform sibling of the YouTube advertiser-friendly checker.
Instructions
How to use it
Paste the caption, description or bio you are about to publish, hashtags included — a hashtag is text and it is read. Pick the network, because the same words are weighted differently on each.
The penalty you never see
Removal is the loud outcome and the rare one. The common one is that a post stays up and stops being recommended: Instagram publishes Recommendation Guidelines separate from its Community Standards, and TikTok publishes a list of content ineligible for the For You feed. Neither sends a notification. The only signal is a number that looks like a bad day.
What a word list cannot do
Hate speech, harassment and misinformation carry no vocabulary here, and that is deliberate. They are decided by who a statement is about and what it claims — a word list for them would flag every anti-racism post on the network and miss most of what is actually removed. They appear as review prompts instead, which is the honest thing a text tool can offer.
Questions
Frequently asked
Will this tell me if my post will be removed?
No, and nothing can. It tells you which words in your caption belong to a category the platform has published a rule about. Context decides the rest, and context is what a text checker cannot see.
What is engagement bait?
Asking for the like, comment, share, tag or vote rather than earning it. Meta has published a demotion for it for years and TikTok names follow-bait in its ineligibility list — it is the one reach penalty in this tool that the platforms describe in their own words.
Why does it flag a word in a post that is clearly fine?
Because it is reading vocabulary, not meaning. A recovery post and a harmful one use the same words. Where a term is load-bearing for your subject, keep it — the flag is a prompt, not a verdict.
Does it cover hate speech?
Not by vocabulary, on purpose. It appears as a category to review by hand, because who a statement is about is the whole question and no word list can see it.
